You Are the Gift!
Hey there.
Have you ever found yourself in this place?
Wondering…Questioning ….Yearning for the time and opportunity when your unique gifting (talent) will be utilized in a capacity that not only impacts the lives of others, but also leaves an enduring imprint in the earth?
Yet, generally it is not your gifting that is being used. It's you.
Now, before you clam up and shut down, let me explain.
Many have yet to recognize the difference between the gift that you ARE and the gift that you HAVE.
The gift that you ARE works non-stop. Its availability is predicated upon your intentional willingness to simply be available. God has set within you an eternal "switch" (for a lack of a better word), that can be triggered at any given moment, and in any given circumstance.
The gifting (talent) that you HAVE works a little different. Its availability and use oftentimes comes through training, reading, studying, mentoring and life experiences. Yet, even with all of these listed preparations, it still may not be put to use.
Don’t fret, your gifts will truly make room for you, in time. Most likely you are in the waiting period, also known as PROCESS, for gift development. I am a witness that process generally creates great frustration, because it appears that what you have is not needed in your current place.
“So, what is the purpose of this gift that I have if it is never being used? "
Glad you asked?
To profit withal wherever and whenever God needs it.
When it seems God has shut you down in the arenas in which you just know your gift (talent) would be most useful, remember the gift was given to you by God, and He knows when and where IT will be used…so you won’t be.
The dichotomy is that at the same time that God halts the gift you have, he will create arenas that place the gift you ARE on full display.
“In this God? Now God? Going through what I am going through now?”
Yes, because that gift you are is in a beautiful container with a bright bow on it, and it must be dismantled! All will gather with anticipation as the gift is revealed.
Warning! The container holding the gift may be unintentionally damaged during the opening, especially in young hands. Yet, no one considers the discarded container afterwards because it was not the focus. It completed its purpose, which was to contain the gift until it is unveiled.
So, don't retreat. Don't complain. Most of all, don’t count yourself out! Just continue to perfect your giftings (talents) through process, and the gift that you Are in obedience.
~ His timing is something no man can hinder or stop.
