Paul wrote in 1 Corinthians 12:31 about the gifts God has given to His children, he encourages Christians to “eagerly desire the greater gifts”. In Romans 12:6-8, the gifts are; Prophecy, Serving, Teaching, Exhortation, Giving, Leadership, and Mercy; (More gifts are spoken of; like Pastors and Shepherding and others, in 1 Corinthians 12:8-10, Ephesians 4:11 and in 1 Peter 4:11). Eagerly desire the gifts; Jesus paid a high price. The Holy Spirit stirs up those gifts in us; so why not perfect them for the glory of God?! Why not find out what your gifts are; why they were given to you and use them for His glory? God could have chosen anyone to give your talents and gifts to, but He chose to give them to you. Why?
No one can do the things you’re able to do like you! You are not ordinary… you are extraordinary! Why not use your gifts to help someone who’s hurting in this world?! There are so many ways your gifts and talents can offer hope to someone in need. When we think about and fully understand the gifts we were given, from the Almighty Himself; and the abilities we possess, and how much it cost the Savior; we would never squander away those gifts and talents. The God Almighty thought enough of you to bless you with those beautiful gifts! Use them! And bring Him glory!!!
What are you talented in? What do you do and do it well? What seems to come to you with such ease? Do you have a spirit of exploration? Are you a natural Leader? Maybe you have an ability to draw or you speak well….maybe even writing. Charles Surgeon said “Jesus needs Sanctified writers”! Are you an Encourager, do you enjoy lifting peoples spirit? Are you the one with that Teacher attitude….being quick to correct someone’s grammar?! Search your Soul loved one and come to life! You’ll be a better person for it.
Ask the Holy Spirit to reveal your gifts to you,(they are empowered by Him). Ask Him to “stir up” the gifts in you! You will be amazed to see how the Holy Spirit works! Make it known to God that you are tired of sitting on your hands and that you are ready for action! Make it known to Him how serious you are to start learning from Him. Once you enter into His glory of knowledge, wisdom and understanding, nothing else will satisfy you! You Are A Gift. You Have A Gift. Pursue Your Gift.
