I have been thinking today about gifts. About how I have been given gifts that I have misused or ignored. Since becoming a new creation I have thought about the past, not in a hyper critical way as I have before but having a look see.
There are gifts I was given that I no longer have like athletic ability which I will never get back. There are gifts that were put away because of the situation I was in, like writing. There are gifts that I have fought against having my entire life that I am now putting to God's work, like my intelligence.
There are new gifts, communicating God's message, and singing God's songs.
I amnot going to hide under a barrel anymore because it is not for me I am using these gifts, it is for the Lord.
Lord I thank you for the gifts you have bestowed on me. I want to use them now, I want to use them for your glory. I am yours, do with me as you will.
Lord, a terrible accident occured in NewZealand today, Lord there are families in grief,I lift them up to you as they begin to come to terms with what has happened.
Amen
