JUST DO IT!

What has God entrusted you with and what are you doing with it? It's terrible to see someone who has a gift, just sit on it and never use it. To me, not using the gifts God has given you, is like shoving that gift back in His face and saying, "No Thanks"! Think about it. What are you good at? Do you think that's an accident? Do you think you found those things your good at by accident? It wasn't by chance you were born in this generation. It wasn't by chance that you excelled at what you do best. Your life is not "chance", your life is on "purpose"! If you can sing well, you were given that gift to USE it. If you can play an instrument well, you were given that gift to USE it. If you can teach well, you were given that gift to USE it. Don't sit on it and never use it! It is a GIFT from God Himself! Don't make excuses why you can't, or why you WON'T use it. Spring is coming....a new season is being born! What a perfect time to start a new adventure, let go of all your lame excuses, and actually USE those gifts God has given to you! Just imagine what our church could accomplish if everyone was using the gifts God has given them! Our choir would be busting at the seams, our sanctuary would be so full of people that are so busy encouraging, teaching, giving, witnessing and serving that we'd have to build new buildings to hold them all! GET UP and START USING those precious gifts!! God's not interested in your excuses.


Romans 12:6-8


6 We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us. If your gift is prophesying, then prophesy in accordance with your[a] faith; 7 if it is serving, then serve; if it is teaching, then teach; 8 if it is to encourage, then give encouragement; if it is giving, then give generously; if it is to lead,[b] do it diligently; if it is to show mercy, do it cheerfully.
