Exercising Your Gift

“...until we all attain to the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a mature man, to the measure of the stature which belongs to the fulness of Christ.” Eph 4:13

What are the results of knowing and exercising your gift?
• You will understand you better.
• You will understand others better.
• You will be set free from guilt.
You were not called to do everything. Sometimes we try to do more than we should, and we can experience a burn out!
Knowing your gift helps you keep in perspective what God has gifted you to do.
• You will begin to recognize our interdependence on one another.
• It should eliminate any feelings of superiority or inferiority.
• We will see a unity in the Body.
• There will be a sense of fulfillment.
• There will be a sense of humbleness of spirit.
• There will be a greater love for the brethren.

Remember this thought - God didn’t give you the Holy Spirit for enjoyment, but for employment. He has gifted you with the gift He wants you to have and use. Thank God for the gifts and talents He has given you, and ask Him what ministries He wants you to be involved in.
