The Bible says: \u2018God has given each of you a gift from His great variety of spiritual gifts. Use them well to serve one another. Do you have the gift of speaking? Then speak as though God Himself were speaking through you. Do you have the gift of helping others? Do it with all the strength and energy that God supplies. Then everything you do will bring glory to God.\u2019<\/i> (1 Peter 4:10\u201311\u00a0NLT) <\/p>\n
Some people think that you must have an epiphany, a Damascus Road experience such as Paul had, in order to know you are \u2018called\u2019. No, the gift God gave you is the key to knowing what He wants you to do. You can\u2019t always be what you<\/i> want to be, but you can be what God <\/i>calls you to be. What do you love doing, and do well? Is music your fort\u00e9? Crunching numbers? Working with kids? \u2018The Spirit has given each of us a special way of serving.\u2019<\/i> (1\u00a0Corinthians\u00a012:7\u00a0CEV) That means some of the things other people find boring will actually energise and enrich you. <\/p>\n
The Bible says that God is building a \u2018spiritual house\u2019.<\/i> (1\u00a0Peter\u00a02:5\u00a0KJV) And there is a place for you <\/i>in it. That dispels the misconception that you\u2019re not valuable because you don\u2019t have the same talents other people do. It also defines your actual responsibility by doing away with the myth that you\u2019re supposed to do everything.<\/i> Your goal should be to stay within the boundaries of God\u2019s plan for you (see 1\u00a0Corinthians\u00a012:27). So today, instead of apologising for skills you don\u2019t have, unpack the gift God has given you and put it to work. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
