For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, to do good works which he planned for us long ago. (Ephesians 2:10)
God wants you to live with the clarity and confidence of knowing the “good work” he has just for you to complete for him. The Purpose Driven® Life by Rick Warren has helped over 30 million people around the world understand that God intended a specific way they fit into his plan, and introduced us to S.H.A.P.E.:
• Spiritual Gifts - A set of special abilities that God has give to you to share his love and serve others.
• Heart - The special passions God has given you so that you can glorify him on earth.
• Abilities - The set of talents that God gave you when you were born, which he also wants you to use to make an impact for him.
• Personality - The special way God wired you to navigate life and fulfill your unique Kingdom Purpose.
• Experiences - Those parts of your past, both positive and painful, which God intends to use in great ways.
