Words of Encouragement for Every New Day ~ 19 Sep 2009

Using my gifts to the fullest 1 Corinthians 12:4-6 There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit. There are different kinds of service, but the same Lord. There are different kinds of working, but the same God works all of them in all men. God has wired each one of us in a unique and special way. Even the smallest things in our lives may be used by God in such a powerful way. However, do we not recognise it because we are too focused on the big things, the fame, and the fortune? The big dreams and wishes? As we begin this new series on identifying our gifts, I pray we would begin to accept people the way God has made them, and begin to accept ourselves as well for how God has made us. No one is perfect. Even our flaws and imperfections can be used by God. I pray we would spend some time right now writing down a list of gifts that you have. First, a list of good things. Things that make you proud and happy. Then make a second list of all your flaws and the things that you wish God could have made better. Now pray for each gift and each flaw. Pray that God can use them to bless this world. Pray that God would open our eyes to see how our gifts can be put to full use and not gone to waste. Throughout this world, with the 6.7 billion people each one of us has been made by God. God has given to us different kinds of gifts, but the same spirit. Our gifts are used for different kinds of service, but the same Lord. Today, are we putting our gifts to full use or are we putting them to waste? � 2009 Lee Shaun Tzen. www.everynation.org.sg archive: http://tiny.cc/woe
