Wise Stewardship of your life begins by understanding your SHAPE

As one of God's custom-designed creation,your potential for significance and excellence is revealed by the SHAPE God has given you.

The SHAPE concept is developed by Rick Warren, who writes," Whenever God gives us an assignment, he always equips us with what we need to accomplish it. This custom combination of abilities is known as your SHAPE.

The word SHAPE points to 5 different characteristics:

1) Spiritual Gifts (A set of special abilities given to you to share His love and serve others).

2) Heart (the special passion that God has given you so that you can glorify others)

3) Abilities (the set of talents that God has given you when you are born, which He also wants you to use to make an impact for Him.

4) Personality (the special way God has wired you to navigate life and fulfilled your unique Kingdom Purpose)

5) Experience (Those parts of your past, both positive and painful, which God intends to use in great ways)
