I’ve come to the conclusion that God’s will for our life isn’t as complicated as we make it out to be. So, in a “nutshell,” here it is…
God will use anything and anyone to form and mold us as people who will be able to contain and execute His glory on earth. I call this CAPACITY – having ability, faculty, size, power and volume to steward and execute God’s glory on earth.
We seem to get caught up in the “what,” but God is always looking for a “who.” “What” we do for Him is never as important as “who” we are for Him. “What” is our method, “who” is our message. “What” is a procedure, “who” is a person.
I believe all God is interested in is building a person with capacity. And obtaining Kingdom capacity is prerequisite for creating change and making a lasting difference.
Many of us have dreams of being used by God in great and marvelous ways, but without capacity, it’s only fantasy. Capacity comes through much pain and anguish. Distress, rebuke and disgrace are used by God to build in us the capacity to birth out what God has put in our heart.
The building of capacity is a painful process but I’m learning that the secret is NOT to try to “get out of this” without figuring out what God wants us to “get out of this.” And it’s in this building of capacity that I realize that there’s something that God wants me to notice that I haven’t noticed, and that there’s something He wants me to be that I haven’t been.
