God gave it to you…a gift…to be given...it’s not a what-not…

We’ve all been gifted at least one gift…

Sometimes they come unwrapped…we can identify them at an early age and so can everyone else…

Not only are they easily recognized as gifts…but through simply being…we re-gift them to the world…

Some gifts are hidden…we can’t see what they are with our natural eyes…they are felt…in our spirit…

There is a process of unwrapping that has to take place to discover some gifts…

In these cases, often, the training of what to do with the gift…has to come before the receipt of the gift…

Some gifts are easy to unwrap…others are wrapped with more complexity and can take time to reach the gifted contents on the inside…it will take patience, stamina and faith…

There is no question that we have received a gift…for these, though, we have to dig deep to find out what it is…

Our determination to use our gifts…impacts our willingness to keep digging until we find out what it is that God has given us…to re-gift back for His Good, our good and the good of the private and public worlds that we live in…

And then there are those gifts that are wrapped…and have been hidden…

It’s a hide and seek kind of situation…we can’t see it…but can feel that we have been gifted for a purpose…don’t know what it is or where or how to find it…but on a mission with determination…exercising and strengthening our faith…

We know that God has granted us at least one gift…that we are to find…if we have to…

The expectation is that we will take it out of the box…use it to bless our homes…and then carry it outside to bless the world…

Our gifts have been specifically tailored for us…to receive…and re-gift…

They weren’t designed for us to take with us, when we leave this place…

But to pass on the contents or effects of the gift…to someone else…who will pass it on…to someone else…

Don’t stop the flow…find your gift if you have to…with determination to use it on purpose…

It’s not a what-not designed for display on a shelf…

Let it flow…to all who need it…and are waiting…for your gift…
