You are gifted so give freely don’t give up

“In his grace, God has given us different gifts for doing certain things well. So if God has given you the ability to prophesy, speak out with as much faith as God has given you.” Romans 12:6

Today’s devotional from “Daily Strength for Women” speaks to “Different Gifts”. It says, “Of what benefit is it if someone were to give a child a gift but that child never opened it or used it? God has given each of us natural abilities, talents, and spiritual gifts…. He asks us to step out in our gifts…. Our gifts are not for us alone but to be used to help others.“ Let us not deny ourselves or the world what God has freely given us to work and serve in this lifetime. Your gifts look good on you! Don’t BE ashamed of them or scared of them. Use them to to the BEst of your ability to bring glory to Him and draw others to Him, allowing Him to use you as a willing vessel in service. For Romans 12:6 says, “In his grace, God has given us different gifts for doing certain things well. So if God has given you the ability to prophesy, speak out with as much faith as God has given you.”

REflection from Make Room for What Matters by Youversion

Today we BEgin “Make Space for What Matters” a devotional by Youversion. It tells us, “The purpose of Lent isn’t to ‘better’ your life, but to center your life on what matters most: the One who made you and died for you. And one of the ways you do this is through practicing spiritual habits…. That’s the basic purpose of Lent: to create space in the middle of life’s responsibilities to appreciate what’s always been there—God’s presence.” Never allow a day to go by without creating peaceful pauses to enJOY and engage with the One who has and has always BEen there for us—our Father.

Mark 11:17

Let us not ever take for granted all of the gifts and promises we shall REceive as we go to the Father’s house in prayer.🙏🏽💚🦋🌈

You are gifted so give freely don’t give up, my friend.
