Every Day Of Your Life

Now for the last point in Lucado's outline:

Every day of your life.
(where you do it)

Man was originally created to do a job – not to do nothing! Some people are under the impression that work was a result of the curse after the Fall. But that’s not the case. Man was given the job of taking care of the Garden before the Fall. The curse was that his work would become difficult – not that he would have to work.

So why do we feel so unfulfilled in our daily lives? Many times it’s because we’re not utilizing our strengths and talents in our daily lives. And this goes beyond just your career. This is fundamental to the way you do everything in your life. If God made you a creative person, be creative in the way you parent your kids, in the way that you worship, in the way that you work. If God made you a good communicator, maximize that talent in your personal relationships, at your church, in your community and at your job.

What we have to learn is how to do what we do best, do it every day, and do it in such a way that it is not for us.

In summary, take a look at this diagram. We’ll talk more about this concept over the rest of the course.



Do you see that spot in the center that is at the convergence of all three circles? That’s the Sweet Spot. Get one circle right, and you will still feel unfulfilled. Get two circles right, you might feel a little better. Get all three circles right, and you’ll be a shining example to the people around you of how God intended for us to live life.


Excited? Ready to get started?

Good. I can’t wait to help you discover who God made you to be and to see what God is going to do in your life!
