“One Unique Gift God has given Me
and how I can use that as a Chiropractor.”
by: Emma Koelling
Life University
I
believe
that
God
gives
everyone
gifts
to
excel
in
pursuing
the
dreams
and
passions
that
He
bestows
upon
each
individual.
The
desires
of
our
hearts
are
unique
and
allow
us
to
ultimately
reach
all
people
with
the
love
of
the
Lord.
A
unique
gift
which
God
has
given
me,
which
I
can
use
as
a
chiropractor
to
reach
many
with
the
love
of
the Lord, is compassion.
Compassion encompasses taking the perspective of and feeling the
emotions
of
another
person,
while
also
having
the
desire
to
help.
The
heartbreak
of
others
becomes
our
own,
joining
in
the
struggles
that
others
face.
Over
the
years,
I
have
been
blessed
to
travel
and
serve
communities
both
locally
and
globally
that
are
suffering.
Whether
it
be
from
poverty
or
tornado
damage,
I
have
grown
a
heart
of
compassion
towards
those
who
are
walking
through
hardship.
God
has
shown
me more of His heart, cultivating a desire to show compassion to all who cross my path.
As
a
chiropractor,
we
are
given
the
unique
privilege
of
laying
hands
on
people.
We
get
to
truly
listen
to
individuals
and
hear
their
story,
offering
hope
in
a
world
full
of
darkness.
By
meeting
the
physical
needs
of
people,
the
door
opens
for
us
to
meet
their
spiritual
needs.
The
Lord
has
given
me
the
desire
and
ability
to
meet
people
where
they
are
at.
Everyone
has
their
own
story
that
deserves
to
be
heard,
as
well
as
everyone
deserves
to
feel
loved.
It
overjoys
me
to
think
about
all
of
the
conversations
to
come
with
my
future
patients!
I
get
the
great
honor
of
listening
to
every
patient
as
an
individual
and
then
not
only
offering
them
the
hope
of
healing
and
health,
but
hope
in
the
Lord!
No
matter
a
person's
background
or
life
experience,
I
get
the
opportunity
to
step
in
and
ease
the
sufferings
of
those
who
cross
my
path.
As
a
chiropractor,
the
Lord
has
placed
me
in
a
unique
position
to
use
the
beautiful
gift
of
compassion to reach His people!
1
Peter
4:10
states:
"As
each
has
received
a
gift,
use
it
to
serve
one
another,
as
good
stewards
of
God's
varied
grace."
I
am
so
blessed
to
see
the
unique
position
that
I
am
in,
with
the
gift
of
compassion
that
the
Lord
has
given
me.
This
desire
to
hear
the
hearts
of
individuals
and
meet
their
physical
and
spiritual needs will allow me to reach people locally and globally!
