Bringing a Gift

In his grace, God has given us different gifts for doing certain things well. 

So if God has given you the ability to prophesy, speak out with as much faith as God has given you. 

If your gift is serving others, serve them well. 

If you are a teacher, teach well. 

If your gift is to encourage others, be encouraging. 

If it is giving, give generously. 

If God has given you leadership ability, take the responsibility seriously. 

And if you have a gift for showing kindness to others, do it gladly.
Romans 12:6-8 NLT

Oftentimes, when we are good at a particular skill or something seems to come easy for us (even being able to organize events, deductive reasoning, teach a class, etc), we tend to negate the value of it. After all, we can do it, so anyone must be able to do it, right? No. Not so.

I believe things that we seem to be innately good at are indeed gifts God has given us. "Innately" refers to being born with so-called natural talents. Natural to YOU. A gift or talent God placed in your life as He formed you in your mother's womb. So we should never negate the value of it; we should express our gratitude to God both verbally and by using it!

What's your passion? What do you enjoy doing? Given the opportunity, what would you do for a living? What are you good at? If you truly don't know, ask the Holy Spirit to reveal it to you.

God has been hosting this earth party for a long time. It's time we bring our gifts to the table...before it's over.

Prayer:

Father,

          Thank You for the gifts and abilities You have given us! We are so grateful for the opportunity to share with others. Help us to see Your divine appointments to be able to do so and to the best of our ability. Forgive us for ever negating what You have given us. We want to give You all the glory, honor and praise. In Jesus' Name we pray. Amen
