Gifts Intertwined ~

Our spiritual gifts,
God’s given to us
and in them we need
to put all our trust.
He gave various talents,
for us to use side by side
but with the same Spirit
we are all occupied.
God’s given us strengths,
different levels of skill
and we must all seek
what for them is His will.
He has bestowed on us,
a variety of abilities
aptitudes filled with . . .
all kinds of capabilities.
God’s given us gifts,
according to His design
to use for His glory . . .
when them we combine!
~~~~~~~~~
Now there are diversities of gifts,
but the same Spirit.
And there are differences of
administrations, but the same Lord.
And there are diversities of
operations, but it is the same
God which worketh all in all.

Spiritual Inventory ~
I’m taking inventory,
of my spiritual progress
going to be weighing
my increase, my digress.
Going to take stock,
to see if I’ve grown
going to be looking for
the gifts I’ve blown.
I’m going to catalog,
how much fruit I’ve got
going to see if its usable
or if its starting to rot.
Going to be searching,
down deep into my soul
see if I’m warehousing
any areas I still control.
I’m taking inventory,
doing me some stock taking
because one day to God . . .
I’ll be giving an accounting!

“So then every one of us
shall give account of himself
to God.”

Using our Gifts ~
Lord, to all you have given,
gifts to which You’ve entrust
so many diverse talents
You have given each of us.
You have endowed us all,
with spiritual abilities
so many of us areย blessed
with unique qualities.
Youย awarded each one,
with their own personality
so together we canย be one
regardless of our specialty.
We all have the capability,
but, sadly not the desire
to use our gifts and talents
to enlighten and inspire.
Lord, if we chose to use,
the gifts You’ve given us
just think how many more . . .
in You, would place their trust!

‘As every man hath received the gift,
even so minister the same one to another,
as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.”
