The Bible tells us that God has given us gifts.
In Romans, chapter 12, verses 6-8 we read, “We have different gifts, according to the grace given us. If a man’s gift is . . . serving, let him serve, if it is teaching, let him teach, if it is encouraging let him encourage . . .”
A pastor gave some ideas about how we can tell what gifts we have been given.
He suggests we ask ourselves the following questions:
- Is the activity in question something you feel compelled to do – drawn to – and is it something you really like doing?
- Have others told you they think that you are good at it?
- Have there been good results (fruit) from you doing this activity?
So?! Have I been given a gift for blogging??
- I am excited to do it.
- People have liked the e-mails that form the beginning of the blog.
- People report that these same e-mails encourage and inspire them.
So it appears that yes, I must blog!
And so I will blog, with gratitude in my heart to God.
And have fun!
Smile.
Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering God's grace in its various forms. 2 Peter 4:10
