You Can Be Everything God Wants You To Be

God gave you a zone in which you were made to dwell. He tailored the curves of your life to fit an empty space in his jigsaw puzzle. A sweet spot, if you will. And life makes sweet sense when you find your spot. But what pills do you order, class do you take, or informercial do you watch? None of the above. Simply quarry....your uniqueness.

Da Vinci painted one Mona Lisa.

Beethoven composed one Fifth Symphony.

And God made one version of you. He custom designed you for a one-of-a-kind assignment. You cannot be anything you want to be. But you can be everything God wants you to be. (excerpt from back cover).

In the book, You Can Be Everything God Wants You To Be, by Max Lucado, there are 30 cute, life changing stories from how to manage work stress to how to live up to the potential God has in store for you.

This book would be a wonderful graduation gift to anyone from high school to college to inspire them to the greatness that lies within us all if we would only see ourselves the way God does, instead the way the world judges us.

Written in true Max Lucado style, the down to earth stories show us all how simple it is to live the way God has our lives laid out for us. We simply need a little light to shine on them to let us see how much we may have been living in the dark.

Here's one classic example called Find Your Sweet Spot:

Each person is given something to do that shows who God is. ~ 1 Corinthians 12:7 MSG

"SWEET SPOT."

Golfers understand the term.

So do tennis players.

Ever swung a baseball bat or paddled a Ping-Pong ball? If so, you know the oh-so-nice feel of the sweet spot.

Connect with these prime inches of real estate and kapow! The collective technologies of the universe afterburn the ball into orbit, leaving you Frisbee eyed and strutting. Your arm doesn't tingle, and the ball doesn't ricochet.

Your boyfriend remembers birthdays, the tax refund comes early, and the flight attendant bumps you up to first class.

Life in the sweet spot rolls like the downhill side of a downwind bike ride.

But you don't have to swing a bat or club to know this.

What engineers give sports equipment, God gave you. A zone, a region, a life precinct in which you were made to dwell. He tailored the curves of your life to fit an empty space in his jigsaw puzzle. And life makes sweet sense when you find your spot. But how do you? Where do you go? What pills do you order, what class do you take, or informercial do you watch? None of the above.

Simply quarry... your uniqueness!

I was provided with a complimentary copy of the book from Max Lucado to review for Thomas Nelson Publishers and found this one just as equal as any of Max Lucado's previous books. The stories are short enough and sweet enough to offer a bit size dessert of what God has in store for all of us, and one I would highly recommend.
