I am a present, a gift from God to you and the world straight from the Canvas of God. I have asked myself, just what do I have to offer? I believe that it's up to each of us how well we listen and respond to the Holy Spirit. We must all control what we take in, and I'm referring to (seeing and hearing) and how long we're going to subject ourselves to it before we turn and flee. I am also of the school of thought that I am fearfully and wonderfully made. My God doesn't make any junk, no matter what material he may use. I am very grateful for the gifts that the Holy Spirit has bestowed upon me. I feel obligated to ask how you are using the Spiritual Gift or Gifts given to you. Prayerfully by now, your natural gift has risen to the surface in you by now. Our Spiritual gifts are given to us to aid in the building up of the Body Of Christ. 1Corinthians 12: 1-31, I believe that this would be beneficial to your Spiritual growth in the Body of Christ, as well as Romans 12; Ephesians 4; and 1 Peter 4:10-11.
As I alluded to earlier that we are all Masterpieces of our Lord and God Jesus Christ. I've heard new parents while looking down upon the new life that they assisted in bringing into the world, isn't He or She just perfect. Not too long after uttering that phrase, they change and use words such as monster, bad, evil, and then later in life, they wonder why their child acts the way he or she does. Some need to internalize the awful labels that some thoughtless people put upon their child/children. What we say to a child, or anyone else matters. Words hurt and yet may form just how we view the world.
As Christians, let's be intentional about the way we represent our Lord and God. Keep in mind that we are just passing through, and for this reason, I am Praising the name of Jesus. Please take heed: to my reference of Romans 8:5-6: I usually don't except the practice of categorizing, but this is what Paul did. He was lead to divide them up into a couple of categories: those who were bridled by their sinful natures and those who followed after the Holy Spirit. Being as honest as I can, I believe that all of us would be in the first category if Jesus hadn't offered us a way out. Next, we all must dive into the Word Of God, first asking Him for understanding and revelation.
I believe that the Holy Bible is for us to engraft and then apply its principles throughout our lives.
As men and women of God, we must recognize that we are never alone to cope with our problems. It's comforting for me to know that even when I don't know the right words to pray, the Holy Ghost is praying with me, " Standing In The Gap for me," and He knows what to say. I became so happy when I discovered that all I have to do is ask the Holy Spirit to intercede for me, and He does! I like to think that I''m a World Changer, that no matter what comes my way, the answer to my dilemma is in the Book (The Holy Bible). Presently it's my desire for prayer to be my first reaction, and then I'll dive into the Word of God.
