EMPOWERING LIVES WITH PURPOSE:
Gifts are not only given on special holidays and birthdays. You are a beautiful child of God with flourishing gifts that God has so graciously bestowed upon you in every day in every way. Making your gifts useful, requires action.
Our unstoppable God has His graces swarming about us in so many areas of our lives, enabling us to use our gifting. If we aren’t watchful, we can miss the opportunities that present themselves to exercise these gifts.
Jesus would love to come back and give what the enemy has stolen, His very presence. His presence provides the epitome of joy so that we can exercise the undeserved gifts of His mercy. We have gifts. You have gifts. I have gifts. Do you know what your gift is?
 God desires us to use our gifts, whatever it is or whatever they may be, to serve Him wholeheartedly. Exercise them in His presence each day. Gifts from God are beautiful and each of us has different giftings.
Our lives are intended for a restored relationship with our Lord so that ultimately we can go home to heaven to be with Him. By each of us sharing our God-given gifts with the world, we allow others the hope of enjoying heaven one day as we will-if we’ve accepted Jesus as our Savior. Please don’t sit on your gift. Share it. Share Jesus with the world through the gifting God has given to you.
“We now have this light shining in our hearts, but we ourselves are like fragile clay jars containing this great treasure. This makes it clear that our Great Power is from God, not from ourselves.” (2 Corinthians 4:7)
He will work through you to exercise your God-given gift.
“I focus on one thing: Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead, I press on to reach the end of the race and receive the heavenly prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us.” (Philippians 3:13-14)
