Open your gift



This week I have found that God has been stirring something up in me. My faith has grown stronger, I’m learning about my flaws (who would have thought!.. lol) and learning about God and how he works in miraculous ways.

There has been more than one time this week when I have listened to a sermon on line & the pastor preaches on a specific verse, only to have my pastor recite the same scripture- coincidence I think not!

I attended a women’s bible study this week for the first time and the topic they had been discussing was on Spiritual gifts. They had discussed about certain gifts they have never encountered the prior week and how they wanted to know more about them. One of the gifts they never had experienced was ironically a gift that God had the honor of blessing me with – which I only came to realize last year! I was able to share with the group about what God had placed in my life and of course they were all in shock as they had just discussed that topic last week- coincidence I think not!

As I drove home from the study I cried thinking about the power of Christ and how everything he does is so intricate! He aligns many things in our life- but here’s the kicker- are you willing to allow him to work in your life and be used for his kingdom?

For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.
Ephesians 2:10
