Spiritual Gifts

I’m sure you have heard of spiritual gifts at some point in your life. These gifts are given to you by God to enable you to complete His work. The thing is, these gifts are not set in stone. God will give you various spiritual gifts throughout your life to help you complete different tasks and works that He wants to to help Him complete. The key here is to focus on the call not on the gift. Remember God will not always pick something you are comfortable with either. It is more evident that He gave you the gift when it is a weakness of yours and you succeed than if you succeed with something you were already good at.

I have never felt like I have had a specific purpose for Him; I cannot recall a time I knew He gave me a gift or a purpose solely for Him. However the current Bible Study I am reading pointed out, God is always at work around us and sometimes we need to step back and look at what He is doing, and then we can see a way to join in. I am currently trying to figure out what I can do and where I can help. For now I think I am doing good focusing on how to be a loving mother to my children, an obedient wife to my husband, and a shoulder to lean on for my friends. If I can love them and slowly start to spread my love to everyone around me, then maybe I will find out more on what God is doing in my town and how I can help.
