--Recognize Your [Spiritual] Gift ~~
-(By: Pastor Charles F. Stanley)

--"Since we have gifts that differ according to the grace given to us,
each of us is to exercise them accordingly."
--(Romans 12:6)--

--God has given you a gift to glorify Him and serve others. Today, take a moment and consider which you may possess.

**Prophesying / is proclaiming God's truth.
**Ministering / is serving and meeting needs in others' lives.

**Teaching / is presenting God's Word and explaining how the Lord desires to apply it to our lives daily.
**Exhorting / is appealing to others to live out the Christian life and showing them how to do so.

**Giving / involves practical expressions of time, treasure, and talent that are marked by generosity and faithfulness.
**Leading / may also be called 'administration', and it includes being accountable, diligent, and consistent over time.

**Mercy / involves expressing compassion that points to God's loving-kindness and His free offer of forgiveness, which is made possible through Jesus.

~~This list is brief, but it's important that you recognize the gift you've been given, embrace it, and then seek to grow in it. If you don't know how God has gifted you to serve Him, talk to a member of your church's staff. Perhaps make an appointment to speak with the Pastor. Be sure to always keep this a matter of prayer between you and the Lord Jesus. Jehovah Jireh, our Provider, will lead, guide and direct your steps.

--"Lord Jesus, thank You for the gift You've given me. Show me how to serve in the most effective manner possible, for Your glory. ~ Amen~"

--'MY HOPE IS IN JESUS BECAUSE HE EQUIPS ME FOR SERVICE.'~~
