1 Peter 4 :10 "Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering God's grace in its various forms."
Peter is encouraging Christians to use their gifts for the Lord. The implication is that every person has been given a gift to serve the kingdom.
In the past few months I have taken two personality tests. Both tests revealed similar information about who I am and what my strengths and weaknesses are. In addition, I am reading a few leadership books this summer. The tests combined with the books are causing me to really evaluate who I am and what my strengths and gifts are. I have done this before in my life. In fact I find I often evaluate myself and discern who God created me to be and how I can be aware of that and play to my strengths. My hope is to use my gifts and strengths to better "serve others" and "administer God's grace" to others.
Dear Jesus, help me this summer to continue to clarify who you created me to be and how I can use my gifts to serve. Amen.
