I was talking with a friend the other day about wanting to write. The crazy thing is I have this passion for writing...and I know it is a God-given passion because of how it burns like a fire within me to write. So, then I say...well, what will I write about or where would I write? Should I just keep a paper journal? It seems easier to log it on the computer. Excuses? You betcha!
God has given EACH of us gifts and talents. Some He has given many; others a few. I don't know why he distributes as He does...He is the One in "the know". What are you doing with what He has given you? Do you know what your gifts and talents are? Do you know how to discover them if not?
Pray. Pray and ask God to show you what your talents and gifts are. Try new things. If it seems to be natural...it is probably a talent or gift from God. If not, keep trying new things.
If you already know your gifts and talents...Wonderful! USE them! Talk to God about how and where to use them then if you need to...get in touch with the right people to help put them to use.
I have different gifts and talents. Some I am using as easily as if I simply breathe. I started this blog as a means of using my writing abilities, but I believe I need to go a step further. Yes, I need to keep writing this blog...and do so at least once a week. But I also need to challenge myself to make the time to write. I need to write what is on my heart.
I won't make up excuses anymore. I will make the time and I will find the means...probably this computer because it is SO much easier for me to type than to hand write. In this "gifting" season, explore your gifts. Put them to use. Unwrap that wonderful God-given talent and begin using it. There are no more excuses. God's gifts are given with the soul purpose that they are specially "fit" for each individual. Show Him how much you enjoy the gifts/talents He has given you!
