All these [gifts,
achievements, abilities] are inspired and brought to pass by one and
the same [Holy] Spirit, Who apportions to each person individually [exactly] as
He chooses. (I Corinthians 12:11)
Has anyone ever inspired you? Maybe your pastor, your boss, or your spouse? Someone who inspires you challenges you to
maximize your talents and abilities. They
draw out the best in you. They stir your
heart in such a way that you want to reach higher.
The Holy Spirit is one such person. He is a master at inspiration. Scripture teaches that God has given each of
us at least one spiritual gift. Just as
someone can draw out your natural talents and abilities, the Holy Spirit’s job
is to impart and draw out your spiritual gifts.
He inspires us to step out and utilize the gifts God has given us.
How do I know what my spiritual gifts are you ask? The first step is to spend time with the Holy
Spirit. You will never know what your
spiritual gifts are unless you partner with the Holy Spirit in your day to day
life.
Then, as you fellowship with the Holy Spirit, watch for situations
when you feel inspired to act. During
those times, you may have a glimpse of what your spiritual gifts are.
When you recognize and follow God’s inspiration, others
will see God supernaturally living His life through you.
