Thank God that you can play the piano. Do you know that it is my dream to have a life partner who can play the piano for me in the morning? When I was younger, I think I pray that I want a woman that is beautiful, can play the piano and then can cook. After some time, I realise that maybe it is a wrong prayer to ask. I think I change my prayer to request that she will be pleasant looking woman, love God and that we can serve God together.
Does serving God together means that we have to be in the same ministry? Not necessarily. Do you know that by physically present in prayer meeting, worship service or fellowship group or bible study is also serving God? Sometimes we like to frame ourselves that God only wants me to do this and we refuse to try other things. Of course we are good at certain things and we feel strongly that God want us to be in that area of service. However, our area of service is not permanent also. When there is a change of stages in our lives like marriage, pregnancy, raising up children or even when there is a need to take care of aged parents. Our area of service might need to change also. There might be other challenges like uncertainty of the future which might also affect our area of service. Do we have the faith that God will lead us where we can serve Him together? I pray that God will help you to discover your other areas of service apart from just finance. Able to manage finance is not a spiritual gift but to be a servant like deacon or deaconess, you do need spiritual gift to help you to do your task.
