Gifted With Purpose

If you've ever watched the series on hoarding, [I found] it to be pretty unbelievable. I suggest God finds the "hoarding" of spiritual gifts pretty unbelievable as well. He has graciously given every born-again Believer at least one spiritual gift that is to be put to use. "Just as each one of you have received a special gift [a spiritual talent, an ability graciously given by God], employ it in serving one another as [is appropriate for] good stewards of God's multi-faceted grace [faithfully using the diverse, varied gifts and abilities granted to Christians by God's unmerited favor]. (1 Peter 4:10, AMP). How graciously we have been gifted by God and empowered by The Holy Spirit to put to use for His Glory! It is sad, however, how many of these beautiful gifts lay dormant, unused - what a waste. We all know and appreciate that gift received that proves itself to be invaluable as we go about our daily doings. So it is with the spiritual gift(s) God has entrusted to us - we must use them for the good of others and always to His glory. Believer, you are gifted, and you are ... gifted with purpose!
