Today my two youngest children, 16 and 12, are going to play the piano at a convelesant hospital. I hope that they will be relaxed and just let their talent flow. My hope for all of us is that we will let our talent and skills flow through us and out to others. We all have been given skills and talents to use in our lives for our good and especially for the good of others. We each were given a particular spiritual gift as well. It is often more difficult for some to know what that is. It is that something you do very well and feel passionate about. If you have a desire to do something for others and when doing it you lose track of all time, when doing it others are made happier, healthier (mind, body, and/or soul) when doing it you feel happier and healthier and you do an excellent job. If you are not sure what that is, just volunteer to do anything that interests you.
When you try to exercise a gift, observe am I enjoying this, am I comfortable, if it is something you are better off to do just once in a great while you will know from the way you feel, the results you receive, and the peace and comfort you do or do not have while doing it. If it was not something you felt passionate for move on to something else. Your time was not wasted, you helped someone in some way and you found out this is not my spiritual gift. When you experience using your intended gift, you will know. The Word says the spirtual gifts are: Teaching, Prophecy, Peaching, Healing, Serving, Mercy, Leadership, Administration, Encouraging, Speaking in all kinds of languages, interpreting the languages, Wisdom, Knowledge, and Faith.
1Cor 12:4. It is possible to have more than one gift at a time; yet, one will be more dominant than any other. Usually it is one gift, sometimes it can be one and a time later, a year, numerous years later, you may receive a different gift and change your emphasis to the new gift and that opens the door for someone else to take your place wherever you were serving. If I have time I can put to use a lot of different skills and talents, but I know I have been given a spiritual gift of Encouraging, I love people, I always have, I want to help others to feel their value and their ability to succeed with joy no matter what life hands them.
