I am part of Gods blueprint.

Im not just a number or some wandering soul. God loves meso much that He sacrificed His Son, Jesus Christ, to die for my sins and bring me salvationand He has a reason for placing me on this Earth! Im part of the Great Commission, Gods blueprint for the world. He wants to use me to spread the Good News. See Jeremiah 29:11 and Matthew 28:16! With Gods help, I can make a difference!

Out Loud Explanation I know that being part of Gods blueprint doesnt just mean acknowledging it, but also being active in it. As a Christian, I pledge to bring missions into my daily life. Im not just a Christian on Sundays, but Monday through Saturday, too. I live my faith out loud by:

Strengthening my personal relationship with Christ. I cant help others grow spiritually unless Im growing. I know God wants me to talk to Him! He wants to hear all my fears, dreams, desires, worries, and joys. He also wants me to listen to Him, so that He can guide me on the right path. I make time for God by praying and worshiping on a regular basis, and I work on listening to that still, small voice of the Holy Spirit. Reaching out and being bold. Living a lifestyle of giving and receiving requires boldness. Daily, weekly, and/or monthly, I make a concerted effort to go out of my way for someone else, to do something genuine and kind for someone else that is challenging for me.

Examples: compliment a friend about something truly meaningful instead of his or her clothes, car, stuff, etc. (like his or her faith, compassion, etc.), pray for someone I dont get along with, make dinner for a friend who has little money or time, donate a cherished or expensive item I dont really need, stop to help someone stuck on the side of the road

Practicing good Christian stewardship. I know God is the owner and I am the steward. If I see myself as the owner, I become chained in bondage. Instead, I should give it up to GodHe is in controland I work on storing up spiritual treasures in heaven instead of earthly ones here. I focus less on owning money, possessions, relationships, and time, and more on taking care of themlistening to how God wants me to use them. Im rich toward God, not toward this broken world, and in this way Im free. Being tactfully open about my faith. Its easy for me to keep my faith quiet, to keep God under wraps. I feel embarrassed and scared--the world doesnt like God! Yet, I know I shouldnt hide the beautiful gift God has given me: salvation through faith. I pray that God gives me the courage to share my faith with others. OR I talk about my faith too much and too openly. People feel uncomfortable because I am so blatant about what I believe and what they should, too. Yet, I know God doesnt want this. Boasting, guilting, or pressuring those who dont believe only drives them away. I know people come to faith by the Holy Spirit working in their hearts, not by my own means. I pray God gives me a humble attitude that allows me to share my faith respectfully with others.
