I went to my nephew's third birthday party the other week. It was a lot of fun. You can imagine the WILD energy in a room full of small children! After everyone enjoyed cake and ice cream, Coleman came to the middle of the room to open his presents. All eyes were anxiously awaiting the reveal of each gift! After he had torn through the last one, he was OFF to resume playing with his friends. It was over so quickly. So typical of a three year old boy!
And there, left in a big pile in the middle of the room, were all of his gifts.
On our Heavenly re-birth day, God gives all of us one or more spiritual gifts. "There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit distributes them." 1 Corinthians 12:4
Our gifts are not meant to be left in a pile in the middle of a room. God intended us to utilize our talents and abilities to further His Kingdom! In doing so, we are promised a more fulfilling "party!"
