a lot of gifts

The greatest satisfaction for a born-again believer comes
from functioning in one’s spiritual gifts.
I think that often these gifts have been suppressed by mechanically
defining them to certain abilities and ministries.
I believe that these gifts are a special way to fellowship with the
Lord and to enjoy his presence in our lives. The best way to
understand them is to accept them as an outcome of his relationship
with us.
Each believer has a special, unique role in God’s life.
It’s an individual blessing for the profit of all. I Cor.12:7
Too often these gifts are not recognized and therefore unused.
If we don’t operate in these gifts we will be unhappy
creatures in the middle of the road, not willing to give ourselves
to the world and not fully believing that we can be used in the church.
If a believer meets with others once a week for a couple of hours
it’s difficult to see how could he possibly function in his spiritual gifts.
I continue believing that the church is a living organism,
not a sleeping religious policeman who wakes up once a week to make
sure that everything is as it always has been.
Let’s seek for opportunities to serve, to encourage, to add.
If we don’t, we’ll be unhappy and frustrated with our sleep.
