“So in Christ we, though many, form one body, and each member belongs to all the others. We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us. If your gift is prophesying, then prophesy in accordance with your faith; if it is serving, then serve; if it is teaching, then teach; if it is to encourage, then give encouragement; if it is giving, then give generously; if it is to lead, do it diligently; if it is to show mercy, do it cheerfully.” (Romans 12:5-8)
The one gift I have always been intrigued by is the gift of encouragement. Although this is one of my grace gifts, yet, there are times when I need encouragement just to make it through the day. That is when I have to ask the question:
How does this gift work for me when I’m discouraged?
I have come to realize, the gifts within me are to be given away. That is why it’s called a gift. There is another scripture that comes to mind when I think about sharing a gift. Galatians 6:7 says “Be not deceived God is not mocked. Whatsoever a man sows, he will reap.”
So, with that being said, I just wanted you to know. You are greatly loved of the Father. You are the apple of His eye. Regardless of whatever you are going through, this too shall pass. You will succeed and accomplish your purpose. You will fulfill your destiny, in the name of Jesus. Amen.
