I just filled out a National Honor Society service verification form for Emily, one of our adopted youth who participated in our famine recently. The form is your standard “rate them on X” style, including the following:
- Dependable
- Responsible
- Readiness to show courtesy by assisting others
There are 6 total areas, 3 of which start with “Willingness to…” One made me think of how churches sometimes recruit people: “Willingness to do staff or committee work.” Too often, we look for people who are willing to serve instead of those that are gifted to serve. I’m thankful so many people at First Trinity are serving in their giftedness.
Me, too! We really need to focus on people’s giftedness. That’s where the fruits are.

Moses wasn’t gifted in leadership or speech when God chose him to be the voice of a nation.
He wasn’t exactly willing either… 🙂
