Our Gifts!!!

How do we know what our gifts are?  Our gifts are those that are chosen for us.
They are our expression, our light, our passion, what moves us, inspires us and brings joy.
It may or may not bring us struggle.
It should bring us closer to God and His understanding.
 These Gifts are not to be confused with talents or our character!

Our gifts for God can come in many forms:
Is it a smile,   a helping hand,   ministry,
monetary/ donation/ charity,
music,   song,   dance,   art,   teaching,   friendship,   love,
healing,   faith,   spiritual...
How do you see your gift?


1 Corinthians 12:4-11 (ESV)

"Truly, there are diverse graces, but the same Spirit.
And there are diverse ministries, but the same Lord.
And there are diverse works, but the same God, who works everything in everyone.
However, the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one toward what is beneficial.

Certainly, to one, through the Spirit, is given words of wisdom; but
to another, according to the same Spirit, words of knowledge;
9 to another, in the same Spirit, faith
to another, in the one Spirit, the gift of healing;
10 to another, miraculous works;
to another, prophecy;
to another, discernment of spirits;
to another, different kinds of languages;
to another, the interpretation of words.

11 But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one according to His will.
12  For just as the body is one, and yet has many parts, so all the parts of the body, though they are many, are only one body.  So also is Christ."

Waiting!

Sometimes we place ourselves in a state of waiting.  
God has a wait till we can receive His blessing.
God has us wait to recognize when He is working for us.
God has us waiting for that right person to send.
We wait for finances, peace, love, but 
   We should NOT wait for happiness.

Happiness is all around us.

Waiting is for our Higher Purpose.
Waiting is necessary to make better decisions.

So... Wait, Listen & then things will open up.

Isaiah 40:31

"But they who wait for the LORD shall renew their strength;
they shall mount up with wings like eagles;
they shall run and not be weary;
they shall walk and not faint."
