Spiritual Gifts
In the second part of the video we have been watching in our Leadership Development Class, the topic was our spiritual gifts. These are gifts from the Holy Spirit which help make us unique and enhance our ability to do God’s work. Everyone has different gifts. Some have more than others, but it is important to know that everyone has at least one gift, and God wants us to use it. I Corinthians 12:6 says, “There are different kinds of working, but the same God works all of them in all men.”
I have felt God in my life for a long time now, and I know that He has gifted me with a kind heart. I naturally treat people with a kindness and love, and I try to show this part of me to all the people around me, even to those I’m not that fond of. I feel that it is important to be this way in order to show the love of God that helps me constantly throughout my life.
Another gift God has given to me is discernment. Since I was younger, I never had trouble knowing right from wrong. That didn’t always stop me from being “bad”, but I have always had a strong conscience. It has only grown since my younger days, and it is one of the things that assures me every day that God is in my life, and He is working hard to make me the best all around person I can be.
