The Sweet Spot

In his book, “Wishful Thinking”, Frederick Buechner wrote, “The place God calls you to is the place where your deep gladness and the world’s deep hunger meet.”

I refer to that as the sweet spot.

Have you considered what that might be for you?

What are those things in which you are most passionate?

Those activities and interests that get you the most excited?

Those talents that you most enjoy exercising?

That work that doesn’t feel like work?

How could they be used to be good news to this world?

To bring light into darkness?

To tell a better story?

Discover the intersection of your joy and the world’s need and dive in.

Ponder that. Pray though that. Act on that.

And let me encourage you to go for it!

You were created to be a blessing to this world.

To show love and offer hope.

What are you waiting for?

You’ve got one life.

Make it count.
