What you are is God’s gift to you, what you become is your gift to God.
I overheard a discussion between two ladies in the salon as they were listening to the song ‘bless the lord oh my soul… oh my soul, I worship his holy name…‘
It was being sung by a little child … hence the reflection on ‘gifts’. Anyway, it caused me to think about the gifts God provides to us. One lady said all I do is talk, gab a lot. I thought quietly… that in itself is in fact a gift. She can use that to become a speaker even in small group. She can use her gift of ‘gab’ to write a book, sharing her thoughts with others provided she will be positive. Personally I believe there is enough negativity in the world.
Discover Your Gift
There are many assessments available in the marketplace to help you find your gifts. Here are a few spiritual gifts for you to take a peek at:
- Leadership
- Encouragement
- More popular envied
- Singing
- Acting
- Administration
- Wisdom
- Faith
- Encouragement
- Mercy
- Intercession
- Discernment
- Shepherding
- Teaching
- Hopsitality
- Evangelism
- Helping
- Giving
Many quietly wish for the gift of singing, dancing, entertaining because those gifts are quite popular and can readily be seen. However, do you know that the more popular spiritual gifts often need support? Let’s take for example singing. Singers sing but often benefit from the gifts of songwriters. Movie-stars act but also need a script. And many others.
Be comforted to know that we need each other to soar. That’s how the Lord wanted it. Now go, find your gift.
Blessings,
