But when a person seeks God to meet one\u2019s&nbsp; needs and heal one\u2019s wounds, one can continue to take small steps of faith and pursue God\u2019s calling. Take the time to consider your hurts, wounds, needs, and deep desires. Where is God revealing areas of pain that He can heal, worries that He can overcome, and needs that He can meet? Take the time to seek God in prayer to meet your needs, overcome your worries and heal your pains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Scripture to Study<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth. For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ who is your life appears, then you also will appear with him in glory. (Colossians 3:1\u20134)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Wise Words to Consider<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhen you get to give people glimpses of glory because you are walking squarely and where God has you and what you&#8217;re created for, it usually means there is an ongoing, continual surrender that is happening in our lives. And it\u2019s not a past surrender that we live off of; it\u2019s an ongoing continual surrender. And that\u2019s been true for us and I see that happen all the time in people\u2019s lives.\u201d\u2014David Robbins<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Prayer to Lead You<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Gracious Spirit of life, demonstrate your goodness by leading me to take risks and build community. Breath life into the people that you have called me to love. Help me to seek all my affirmation and value in Christ, to seek my worth in the eyes of my loving, heavenly Father. In the name of Jesus Christ my loving brother, I pray.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Practice to Begin<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>David Robbins explains that when you minister out of your weakness God shows up to bear fruit that will last. This means that God often calls us to move toward areas that expose our weaknesses and our need for Him. Begin to pray that God might manifest his grace in your weakness as you seek to bring Him glory in the place where God has already placed you to love and serve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Questions to Answer<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>David Robbins\u2019s story is one of following the leading of the Spirit to go wherever He leads, and what he reveals about the Spirit\u2019s leading is that the Spirit tends to lead us to places where we must confront our weaknesses, needs, and wounds and places where we can receive as much as we give. Are there places in your life that would force you to confront your weaknesses, needs, and wounds? Are there places where you might receive blessings from others as you seek to be a blessing to them?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Resources to Help<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Bill Bright, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cru.org\/us\/en\/train-and-grow\/spiritual-growth\/the-spirit-filled-life.html\"><em>Have You Made the Wonderful Discovery of the Spirit-Filled Life?<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>David Robbins shares how following Jesus requires surrender, vulnerability and community.
