Jeremy Johnson - The Church Has Left The Building - The Crushing and the Call

Our lives are like the raw ingredients a chef compiles before they begin to bake. In order to make cookies, you'll need flour, butter, eggs, and sugar. However, making cookies is not the only thing you can do with these ingredients. You can also make cakes, brownies, or even bread. The possibilities are endless, just like the potential in our lives. God has a purpose for each one of us, and it is our responsibility to discover what that purpose is. Sometimes, it takes time and patience, but eventually, we will find it. As we look back on our lives, we can see how God has been working in us, even when we didn't realize it. He has been shaping us, molding us, and preparing us for a greater purpose. When we are in our calling, we may still experience frustration, bitterness, and rejection. But those are the very things that God wants to use to make something new in us. He wants to take our struggles and turn them into something beautiful. God has given each one of us unique gifts and talents. And when we surrender our lives to Him, He will use those gifts and talents for His glory. We may not always know what the future holds, but we can trust that God has a plan for our lives. And when we let go of our own plans and trust in Him, we will find the destiny and purpose that He has for us. So let us embrace the raw ingredients in our lives and allow God to use them to make something new. Let us trust in His plan for us and have faith that He will fulfill His promises. And let us live a life that is surrendered to Him, knowing that He has a destiny and purpose for each one of us.
