We are all given one life to live.  The problem for many of us, is that we aren’t entirely sure what we should do with it.  We don’t know how to focus it or what we should be giving the majority of our life to.  We don’t know how to live in ways that are honoring to God. We might end up wasting, or wrongly using our lives, but as followers of Jesus, we can actually live a life fully pleasing to the Lord. Spiritual gifts are sovereignly given spiritual abilities meant to serve the Christian community.

Spiritual gifts are one way in which we can love and serve the church, as well as the city around us.   We often fall into traps of believing our gifts are insignificant, that they don’t matter when it comes to the church or the world.  But our spiritual gifts should lead us to a life of love.  They should be an avenue for us to love others well, and find meaning and purpose of the life God has given us.  It’s a way to use our life to love others well, and build something bigger than ourselves… the kingdom of God.
