I have had the chance to experience my spiritual gift but never really put it to work. I am in the process of examining my gifts and I have been serving in different roles to see which gift I want to make use of the most. (1 Peter 4:9-10) says to offer hospitality without grumbling. Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering Gods grace in its various forms. At this point I am using the scripture to guide me uniquely, I am asking God to reveal how he want me to use my gifts to accomplish his work in the world. I do believe that I have the God-given special ability to serve and strengthen the body of Christ by sharing the love of Christ with others. I will like to have the ability to communicate God’s message in a special language

I am Blessed
You Ask Why I Follow This JESUS?
You ask why I follow this Jesus?
Why I love him the way I do?
When the world’s turn away from his teachings
And why the people who serve him are few.
It’s not the rewards I am after
Or gifts I hope to receive
It’s the presence that calls for commitment
It’s the spirit I trust and believe.
The lord doesn’t shelter his faithful
Or spear them all suffering and pain
Like everyone else I have burdens,
And walk through my share of rain.
Yet he gives me a plan and purpose,
And that joy only Christians have known
I never know what comes tomorrow,
But I do know I am never alone.
It’s the love that is always there when you need it
It’s the words that redeem and inspire
It’s the longing to ever be with him
That burns in my heart like a fire.
So you ask why I love my Lord Jesus?
Well, Friend, that is so easy to see,
But the one thing that fills me with wonder is
Why Jesus loves someone like me.
Why I love him the way I do?
When the world’s turn away from his teachings
And why the people who serve him are few.
It’s not the rewards I am after
Or gifts I hope to receive
It’s the presence that calls for commitment
It’s the spirit I trust and believe.
Or spear them all suffering and pain
Like everyone else I have burdens,
And walk through my share of rain.
Yet he gives me a plan and purpose,
And that joy only Christians have known
I never know what comes tomorrow,
But I do know I am never alone.
It’s the love that is always there when you need it
It’s the words that redeem and inspire
It’s the longing to ever be with him
That burns in my heart like a fire.
So you ask why I love my Lord Jesus?
Well, Friend, that is so easy to see,
But the one thing that fills me with wonder is
Why Jesus loves someone like me.
Worry NOT
There are two days in every week we should not worry about, two days which should be kept free from fear and apprehension. One of these days is Yesterday with all its mistakes and cares, its faults and blunders, its aches and pains. Yesterday has passed forever beyond our control. All the money in the world cannot bring back yesterday. We cannot undo a single act we performed; we cannot erase a single word we said. Yesterday is gone forever.
The other day we should not worry about is Tomorrow with all its possible adversities, its burden, it large promise and it poor performance; Tomorrow is also beyond our immediate control.
Tomorrow's sun will rise, either in splendor or behind a mast of clouds, but it will rise. Until it does, we have no stake in Tomorrow, for it is yet to be born.
These leaves Today. Any person can fight the battle of just one day. It is when you and I add the burden of those awful eternity - "Yesterday and Tomorrow" that we will break down.
It is not the experience of today that drives a person mad, it is the remorse or bitterness of something which happened Yesterday and the dread of what Tomorrow may bring. Let us, therefore, live one day at a time.
