Having Different Gifts

 

God has blessed each of us with differing gifts.

“Having differing gifts according to the grace that is given to us…”

~Romans 12:6

This applies to the differences between me and those around me, the differences between my children, and differences between the blogger and her fellow bloggers.

We should be encouraging one another in what God has gifted us to do, not sit back and be  privately jealous, envious, or judgmental of others talents, websites, and blogs for these are all rooted in pride.

“Wherefore receive ye one another, as Christ also received us to the glory of God.”

~Romans 15:7

God created each of us with those talents to glorify Himself. He also created us for HIS pleasure not necessarily the pleasure of others.

Don’t look to those around you for confirmation. Look to Him. Is He in what you are pursuing? Yes? Then He will bless it and lead the way.

Let’s get focused on encouraging each other instead of comparing our selves, our blogs, and our lives with one another.

THAT is what will bring glory to Our Savior and God.

“Thou art worthy, O Lord,

to receive glory and honour and power:

for thou hast created all things,

and for thy pleasure they are and were created.”

~Revelation 4:11

Is there anyone you could encourage today? Leave them a comment of encouragement regarding the gifting God has blessed them with.

Is there anyone that encourages you? Share their blog URL with us or a particular post that has been encouraging to you. I look forward to reading your suggestions.

Confession: This post was written to myself. I have found myself feeling a bit “left out” as I watch so many of my favorite bloggers come together to create Sisters In Bloom as they seek to encourage women. I wish them all the best and success with their new endeavor. Go check them out!:-)
