As each one has received a gift, minister it to one another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God. 1 Peter 4:10

 After my grandmother passed, each of the grandchildren were gifted with certain belongings that had special meaning.  One item I received was a two tier table that sat beside a chair in which my grandfather kept certain things of value to him. Since that time, I have used it in my office. Yesterday I made some changes to the furniture and decided to gift it to my son-in-law who plans to design a study in their new home. It will be a perfect fit, and thankful to keep it in the family.

 There is a gift that each one of us receives by our creator, God. Each person’s gift is exclusive to that individual; whether it’s a generous spirit, a hospitable spirit, spirit of love, just to mention a few of the many gifts God gives His creation. Today’s verse encourages God’s children to use these special gifts to minister to one another. Have you discovered your gift? If so, are you using it to bring honor to Him and spread the ministry of Jesus Christ?

 Gift what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think. Henry Wadsworth (American poet 1807-1882).

 You might not think your gift has any significant value, but it does. God will always multiply your efforts when you share your God given gifts with others (2 Corinthians 9:10-11). Ask God to open the door of opportunity to use those gifts this week and bless others. Your cup of blessings will overflow so you can continue in the ministry of Jesus Christ! Blessings!
