Discover Your Form

In manufacturing terms, form is defined as, “the shape, size, dimensions, mass, weight, and other visual parameters that uniquely distinguish a part.”

You weren’t exactly manufactured, but you were created by God.

In fact, as believers, we have been re-created by God…

“For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew (re-created) in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.” (Ephesians 2.10 NLT)

You have a unique, God-given shape (or form) that distinguishes you.

I’m not talking about the shape or size of your nose or other facial features. I’m talking about something else…

“The human body has many parts, but the many parts make up one whole body. So it is with the body of Christ. Yes, the body has many different (unique) parts, not just one part.” (1 Corinthians 12.12 & 14 NLT)

So, I’m talking about YOU in the body of Christ—the church.

Have you discovered your form yet?

Do you know what your unique, God-given shape is?

Have you discovered your strengths, abilities, talents, and God-given gifts?

Are you living with a clear sense of “this is why I am here”?

If you haven’t already, it’s time to discover your form.

You were created by God to stand out, to be distinct, different and unique.

In the church (and in the world), you weren’t made to blend in or be indistinguishable.

You are part of the body of Christ—the church, and you have a form (shape) that uniquely distinguishes you.

Your form is unique and significant.

We (the church) need YOU—the real you, the uniquely-shaped you.

“I want you to think about how all this makes you more significant, not less. A body isn’t just a single part blown up into something huge. It’s all the different-but-similar parts arranged and functioning together.” (1 Corinthians 12.14 MSG)
