God put gifts in you...do not withhold them

Laura Mangin McDonald MA LPC Christian Insight for Life

God put gifts in you for His glory to be revealed to work in tandem with the body of believers to fulfill His purpose for the Kingdom. Many withhold their gifts due to insecurities & this is a normal feeling...but not an acceptable excuse. God's equipped you with everything you need to execute your gifts-His name is Jesus & He will do far beyond what you can dream or imagine, according to the power at work within you. With Him you can do all things…apart from Him you can do nothing. His Spirit lives in you-giving constant guidance & direction.

God's designated you to operate the gifts He put in you...but you don't own them nor are you to minimize or withhold them. He's given you the privilege & responsibility to carry the them out, but you must completely rely on His ability to deliver them. You will feel accomplished & purposed when you use your gifts for the call God planned for you. If you choose to withhold your gifts or use them for the world in a way not planned by God...you knowingly reject the fulfillment & contentment He offers you. Everything about you is designed to execute the gifts He chose for you...personality, intellectual abilities, athleticism, temperament, interests, desires & perseverance etc.

Will you let God work through you to do the good works He planned for you long ago? I pray these words will challenge you to agree with His plans & purpose so you can be the you...He planned you to be! Are you ready?
