Spiritual Gifts

Verses of the day - Ephesians 4:11-13 (NRSV)

The gifts he gave were that some would be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, some pastors and teachers, to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ, until all of us come to the unity of the faith and knowledge of the Son of God, to maturity, to the measure of the full stature of Christ.

In Chapter six of my first book Jesus speaks to us about the gifts that we have been given.

Excerpt from Spirituality A Journey For My Soul

I desire greatly for many to serve Me to the best of their abilities.  Do not be afraid to use the gifts that I have given you.  The gifts that I have given you are meant to be shared.  Everyone has been gifted with something.  When you discover what your talent is, use it to the best of your ability to serve Me.

We are all called to use the gifts that we have been given to serve God the best way we can.  Some examples of the gifts that we may have been given are the ability to listen to another person's problems, the ability to speak in front of other people, being a prayer warrior, writing, or being loving and kind.  These are only a few of the many gifts that we may have received from God.  When we see the gifts God has given other people, we should not be afraid to let the other person know what we see.  Sometimes the other person does not recognize the gifts they have been given until someone else tells them.  This was the case for me.  May we all use our God given gifts to the best of our ability. God Bless.
