Finger Prints
Ministry is but a group of people learning to work together. Like a baseball team. Everyone has their own position. Some can manage multiple positions and some are best suited in one. I happen to be one of those that can manage multiple positions. The trick is to know what position I am supposed to be in for that game and own it for the entirety of the game or until the coach moves me. Which could happen at a moments notice. So then the trick is to really just be flexible. A soft ownership. But what does that mean????????
Maybe I need to re-define ownership. Maybe ownership isn’t wrapping my arms and heart around that place or item so tightly. Rather my head only. Having an understanding how it works, where it needs shoring up, what makes it grow and what part I play in this season of ownership. I’m still trying to figure out how to not embrace it too much then with my passion and heart. Maybe it’s a counterfiet ownership that I’ve been walking in. Maybe I’ve been defining myself by the fingerprints I leave on that position verses walking in the confidence that the position is more defined simply because of the fingerprints I get to leave on it. That I’m already complete in Christ with my identity defined and that I’m called to define those positions that He’s placed me in by leaving my finger print – which actually ends up being His finger print because it’s Christ working through me.
