Whatever is good and perfect is a gift coming down to us from God our Father, who created all the lights in the heavens. He never changes or casts a shifting shadow.
James 1:17
I have a cousin who once told me that I should have been a mosquito because I had the gift of irritating people. I won't speak of that time of many years ago, but I will ask you to think for a moment. Yes, I do realize it IS Monday, but please try. Each person has gifts, because God gave them to us. You may not think you have gifts, but you do.
Because God gave us gifts, we have the responsibility to use them to make a positive difference. You may have the gift of compassion and you give bottles of water out on a hot day. You may have the gift of empathy and you encourage others by sitting with them in their time of need. You may have the gift of singing (which I don't) and you share your voice with others. The list of gifts is endless! Yet God gives us our specific gifts to be used specifically by us because He knows when and where we need to use it.
If you want to make a positive difference in this world, use your gifts!
