Romans 8:11
For I am longing to see you so that I may share some spiritual gift to strengthen you -
Paul writes in his letter to the Romans that he wants to share a spiritual gift with them. Have you ever thought about what your spiritual gifts are or are you using the spiritual gifts God has blessed you with? It is up to you whether you use these gifts or not.
Our spiritual gifts are what make each of us unique. They allow us to work together in the name of the Lord and do good works. They help us support and give one another strength during both good times and trying times.
Sometimes we may not recognize our own spiritual gifts. How then do we discern our own spiritual gifts? The obvious way is through prayer; we just need to make sure we listen for the answer. Another way is to listen to others around us as they may recognize our gifts better than we do. Another way yet is through a spiritual gifts inventory: take one of those and you may be surprised what you find out. It may not be what you expect.
As we move forward in this Lenten season, embrace your spiritual gifts. Ask God to guide you in the use of your spiritual gifts and help you discern what your gifts are.
