Welcome Home New House Guest!

Talent. We all have it. Gifts. We all don't use them. I've heard many young people my age say "I don't know what my gifts are or I don't have any talents." I'd say that's a bunch of foolishness.

God gives us gifts according to our own ability in which He knows who can handle what. I often laugh when I hear myself singing after I've recorded it on a phone at home. I tell myself, "man if God gave me a voice, I'd be wearing it out. I'd sing all day everyday," but that's CLEARLY not what He wanted me to have. Lol.

The Bible says in 1st Corinthians 12, that we are all members of one body but there are individual members that make up the one body. Paul was talking about the church. We shouldn't value one person over another according to their gifts. Again, GOD has granted EACH person the specialized gifting that He saw fit to give based on the complexity of your design as His child. If the world were full of singers, who then would be the filmmakers or doctors or the teachers or prophets as stated in Romans 12? I believe that if this world was made up of the same type of people with the same gifts and talents then it would be pointless to have a God who is full of creativity and wisdom unheard of.

I only want to remind you today, to walk in your purpose using the gifts that God has prepared for you. Psalms 139:14 says: I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Marvelous are Your works, and that my soul knows very well.

I've heard many, many people say to me that your gifts will make room for you. In my life, I've allowed the Holy Spirit to lead me in my purpose and I am allowing God to use me thru the gifts and talent that He's bestowed upon me and let me tell you...I have a new House Guest. My gifts have TRULY made room for me. Room that I never thought in 1,000,000 years I would see but to God be the Glory!

As long as you continue to strive daily to allow Him to use you He will show you your gifts. He will show you that you CAN do ALL things thru Him, Christ Jesus, who strengthens us. As Paul wrote in his last letter to his son in the spirit, Timothy, we must always Stir Up the Gift of God which is in us.

Are you asleep in your room? It's time for you to wake up and Stir Up the Gift!
Until Next Time, I'm Dreaming in Him...
