There are often times in my own life when I wanted to question God. What are my God given gifts, Lord?
I have so many Christian and non Christian friends ask me the same question, time and time again.
Maybe we are hoping that one morning we wake up and discover we have been blessed with the gift of healing, prophecies, speaking of tongues. The list of gifts is so large we miss the very gifts that we were born with.
I believe that before God can bestow upon us the gifts that take strong people to handle we must first plant a seed and water it to help it grow.
So… how do we do that? We start with what we have already at hand.
What are you good at? Can you write, sing, paint. Do you relate to people well? Can you offer a hand of help? cleaning for someone, driving someone somewhere?. Maybe you are a mighty prayer warrior.
I love to write, as you can tell. I also love to sing on our worship team and teach Sunday school. I make cards for people and take them out for coffee to just generally see how they are.
You see if you look close and dig deep you can find your unique gifts. They may seem small and significant. But did you know even a simple smile or a helping hand can change a persons life.
Start with the gifts you already have and seek God fervently in prayer. More and More everyday I guarantee you will begin to see how amazing and unique God has made you and grow in that, embrace it more and step outside to reach the world. Sarah Gai, www.sarahgai.com
