GIFT

As I was preparing for the book signing I wanted to find an appropriate scripture to leave on the page by my signature.  It didn’t take long to find one, 1 Peter 4:10.

When people find out that I have written a book they always say how proud they are of me.  This has bothered me simply because this isn’t my story this is God’s story given to me by a little girl.  Through the years I have discovered what my gifts are that God has blessed me with and now I am using them to serve others.  Just as the scripture states in 1 Peter 4:10 NIV Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God's grace in its various forms.

Our gifts should be faithfully used in serving others; none are for our exclusive enjoyment.

Every one of us has special gifts. When we use these gifts to glorify others we will be blessed beyond what we could ever imagine.  When we change our focus from “me to The” our lives will change.  This may take time but we must have patience and remember it is in His time not ours. 

Begin seeking what your special gifts are that God has given you.  You may be surprised at what His plans are for you.
