Gifts from God

God has gifts for each of us that He has given us but 

some are too scared to open them.

Take hold of each gift that God has given you.  

Open them and unwrap them and use them for his glory.

Some of the many gifts are :

PEACE

           Unwrap and take it. You no longer have to live in torment.

JOY

This includes laughter.  The Word said the Joy of the Lord is our strength.  

Smile even when you don't feel like it and regain your strength.

LOVE

This is one that we desperately NEED because the Word said 

if we don't have Love all the other gifts are pointless.  

Love covers a multitude of sins.  

Two ways to demonstrate Love are random acts of kindness 

and praying for people who use you or who have mistreated you.

MERCY

This is treating others as you would like to be treated.

Mercy looks into the situation and has compassion and can pray for the situation.

The Word says HIS mercies are new every morning.

PRAISE & WORSHIP

It changes our heart and takes the focus off of us 

and puts it back on God where it belongs.

We need to praise Him through our circumstances 

for He alone is worthy of our praise.

We need to become true worshipers 

and stop giving God lip service.

Praise and worship Him even when you don't feel like it 

and watch your heart change.

FORGIVENESS

This one is a very interesting gift because to get this gift 

we have to be willing to give this gift first.

God forgave us of our sins when He paid 

the ultimate price on Calvary but yet still

it is so hard for us to forgive someone 

for saying something about us.  

The more you give this gift away the greater the reward.

These are just some of the gifts God has given us.  

Ask the Holy Spirit to show you which ones you have not unwrapped yet 

and open them then use them for the glory of God.
