Knowing your gift
October 16, 2018
Question: How do you know what your giftedness is? Scripture says we each have a gift. What is it. Romans 12: 6 In his grace, God has given us different gifts for doing certain things well.
One measure is that using that gift energizes us. We are invigorated exercising that gift. I experience that visiting our African villages where we teach widows the salable skill of tailoring. When I go to a church, share God’s perspective on widows, answer widows emails to our website widowconnection.
An onlooker seeing my packed schedule stated that I needed to learn to say “No.” Not wise advice. When we say ‘no’ to using the gift God gives us, our soul shrivels, we sense the void of uselessness, even boredom. Exercising that gift is energizing.
