1 Corinthians 12:1-11 Now about spiritual gifts, brothers, I do not want you to be ignorant…to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good…All these are the work of one and the same Spirit, and he gives them to each one, just as he determines.
My dad has always told me that I am really good at some things. He tells me I am really good at talking (hmm…guess where I got that from? “The nut does not fall far from the tree,” they say). I like to organize things…I even asked for a daily organizer when I was six. I think I might like to be a teacher someday. I also would like to be a doctor…blood and stuff does not bother me. There are so many things that I think I would naturally be good at.
I am also learning that God has given every Christian a spiritual gift. They are different from natural gifts. Only people who have a relationship with Jesus Christ get the spiritual gifts. Makes sense to me. He only gives these special spiritual gifts to people who love Him. That is because Christians have the Holy Spirit living in them and that is what it takes to make a spiritual gift work.
I am still young but I want to learn more about my natural gifts and my spiritual gift(s). I am going to take a spiritual gifts inventory. It will help me know what God wants me to do with my life. You can do that too, because Dad told me there are spiritual gift inventories on the church website. Happy downloading.
Prayer: Dear God, help me to use all my gifts to worship You and to help others. Thank You for giving me a spiritual gift(s) because I love You. You are over the top God and so are Your gifts. Amen.
