Reflections

Did you know that God will provide us gifts, but it is our responsibility to stir it aflame?

Romans 12:6 - 8 (NIV) 6 We have different gifts, according to the grace given us. If a man’s gift is prophesying, let him use it in proportion to his faith. 7 If it is serving, let him serve; if it is teaching, let him teach; 8if it is encouraging, let him encourage; if it is contributing to the needs of others, let him give generously; if it is leadership, let him govern diligently; if it is showing mercy, let him do it cheerfully.

To bring it to its appropriate fruition. God gives but we need to apply it. To start using it faithfully, to learn how to use it wisely and more effectively.

To activate these giftedness, it usually requires us to apply faith. It requires courage, self-discipline, etc. And sometimes we get stuck precisely because we seem to lack some of these things.

Have you considered giving it a shot? Stepping out in faith, looking to God for His grace? Seeking a mentor to guide you? You might be amazed!
