Spiritual Gifts

I think it's amazing how God knows us so well... how He created us to be so unique... and to give each of us a perfect gift to fit the individuals we are... what's more amazing is how God calls us, people who can be so different from one another, to be one body... each with a different gift... so that His work can be done...

Looking at the students in RY, there is so much potential of what God can do through them... for some, their spiritual gifts have been discovered... while others are still in the search... When I was in the youth group, I used to wonder why some people were so great at things I weren't... I remember wanting to be like them... to play the piano like them... to sing like them... all for the wrong reasons... It wasn't until I was an older member of the youth group that I learned that we are given different gifts... and that these gifts weren't used to impress others... but to be used for God's glory... I hope that our students will realize this early on... that as they grow closer to God and the Spirit reveals what their gifts are, that they own it and use it to glorify God... how awesome that would be...
