Gifts to Change the World

In this day when extreme behavior is the norm, when news programs are filled with horrific weather catastrophes, and devastating financial frauds are uncovered regularly, we become hardened and take these things in stride. Given this reality, it may be difficult to read about Spiritual gifts and get very excited, but they are a big deal; a life changing deal when used as they were meant to be used.

Do you know what your spiritual gift is? Do you even care? If you are a believer, you have at least one, some of us have more. Scripture tells us these gifts are precious and meant to be used to serve one another, not denied nor hidden away. These gifts will unite us as Christians and they will build up the Body of Christ.

We live in a world that could benefit by these gifts: administration, discernment, healing, helps, faith, knowledge, and wisdom. When the Body of Christ works together and shares these gifts with the world, what a change we would see.

When we acknowledge our need each for other and begin to live a life united to one another through Jesus, what s sight that will be. When we use these gifts with love, intentionally serving our neighbor, we will no longer be living a hardened life but the life of one transformed by love.
