February 12 - gifts

Gifts -- Romans 12:3- 8
3For by the grace given me I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the measure of faith God has given you. 4Just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, 5so in Christ we who are many form one body, and each member belongs to all the others. 6We have different gifts, according to the grace given us. If a man's gift is prophesying, let him use it in proportion to his[b]faith. 7If it is serving, let him serve; if it is teaching, let him teach; 8if it is encouraging, let him encourage; if it is contributing to the needs of others, let him give generously; if it is leadership, let him govern diligently; if it is showing mercy, let him do it cheerfully.

Roman twelve is my favorite chapter of the bible. I read Roman 12 as a guide in my life. This passage talks about sharing our God given gifts with each other. We all have different gifts. This passage tells me it is my responsibility in relationships to share my gifts and talents. I can not hold them to myself. I need to give to build relationships. It is also my responsibility to allow other the opportunity to share their gifts and talents.
What is your God given gift/talent? Share it with someone special to you.
