For my 21st book in my Book a Week challenge, I read a great little book about how God wants us to be actively involved in helping Him deliver daily miracles in the lives of people we come in contact with.
Written by Bruce Wilkinson, You Were Born for This brings a practical teaching to a topic generally reserved for mystic rhetoric that makes miracles seem out of reach in our everyday lives. It’s quickly apparent as you read the book that Wilkinson is an excellent teacher, and he does a great job mixing teaching points with real-life examples of how the lessons he’s teaching have played out in his life. One of the best examples of how the author makes our role in delivering miracles to others seems very doable is his encouragement to start using a “God Pocket.” Yeah, it’s a weird name, but those odd labels are part of how he gets his teaching across (“bumps,” “nudges,” and “cues” are just some of the steps you’ll read about).
The “God Pocket” helps to give legs to our desire to see God meet the financial needs in others’ lives, and keeps us from simply having the “want to.” Practical ideas like the “God Pocket” (Wilkinson’s name for money kept in our wallet or purse that is designated for being used in a money miracle for people we are sent to by God) enable us to actually do what we want to do.
Without a doubt, this book was one that I’m glad I read and will more than likely read again and again. It has motivated me to live with my eyes open, looking for people God wants to send me to. I have no doubt you will have the same reaction, too.
