I lamented to a friend a few weeks ago that I’m not who I’m supposed to be right now—I can see it on a daily basis.
There are people who call on me for support (sometimes they don’t call, but need it anyway) and I find myself not just falling short, but almost too crippled to do what I ought.
I can’t be the only person in this world to SEE that I’m supposed to be doing something specific, not just with hindsight, not just with foresight, but with perhaps a God-sight—one that says “I made you for a purpose.”
Not being fully sure I can convey what I’m saying, let me just express that when I meet people I gain insight into where I should be and what I should be doing and most of the time tho’ I say ‘I don’t know’ how to get from point A to point B, that’s not the full truth. The road begins with meditation. [And unclogged ears.]

Other people are opportunities for service and signposts of grace, but we are fallen. This isn't a cop-out, but a confession of our absolute dependence on our Creator-Redeemer for the salvation of our lives. You have a purpose, and you are blessed enough to see the purpose, and (I suspect) you often gifted to rise up to the challenge of the call. Sometimes, however, the crazy, chaotic, dead-in-sin brokenness of who you are does cripple you. Don't crucify yourself over it (He's already taken care of being crucified), just keep turning back to Him in faith and trust. To swipe a metaphor, you're clay on the potter's wheel. You are neither the wheel nor the potter. And, regardless of whatever else you do or don't do, you bless us, your readers, by showing us God's grace working out in your life.
