God put gifts in you for His Kingdom purpose. Don't stifle them-they're commissioned by God Himself to be to delivered through you. He's designated you as the vessel to operate them...but you don't own them nor are you to minimize or withhold them. God's given you the honor, privilege and responsibility to  carry the gifts, but you must completely rely on His ability working through you to deliver them. You will feel accomplished and purposed when doing so- fulfilling the call He planned for you. If you choose to withhold your gifts, you knowingly reject God's plan for your life-forgoing the fulfillment and contentment available to you. Everything about you is designed to carry out these gifts...your personality, intellectual abilities, athleticism, temperament, interests, desires and perseverance-glorify your Father and shine the light He put in you! I hope this will challenge your thinking. Execute the gifts God deposited in you and fulfill your purpose-to be the you..God made you to be!
