In Him also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestined to the
purpose of Him who works all things to the counsel of His will.
Ephesians 1:11 (NKJV)
In Jesus, we have received a gift from God, a gift determined by the LORD’s aim for us. God works all things in accordance to His will.
Our heavenly Father knows what He plans for each of His children. We learn His purpose for our lives through the experiences we have as we grow in Him, the spiritual gifts He gives us and through His guidance through our days.
Over the years, I have taken at least three Spiritual Gifts surveys. The results have guided me as I walk with Jesus. Some people find that those gifts change over time. Some of mine went from strong gifts that I could use and to waiting gifts that I could use if I could develop them.
Have you done a Spiritual Gifts survey?
Yes, I did a spiritual gifts survey many years ago, and the results seemed to be very true of the ways in which God used me and worked through me throughout my life. I seem to be a bit more "retired" now from using my gifts as much, or else they are being used in a different way than before. Perhaps I need to ask the Lord to "refire" me instead of "retire" me. LOL. Thank you for your faithfulness to His call on your life. You are a blessing.
ReplyDeleteI don't think I've ever done a spiritual gift survey, Cecelia, but I'm aware of many of the gifts God has given me, and I do try my best to cultivate and use them to God's honor and glory.
