And blessed [spiritually fortunate and favored] is she who believed and confidently trusted that there would be fulfillment of the things that were spoken to her [by the angel sent] from the Lord
-Luke 1:45
In the first chapter in the Gospel of Luke, we see the story of Elizabeth’s pregnancy and birth of John as well as Mary’s conception of Jesus. From this reading I took away a lot of things, but I want this post to focus on what I gathered from this passage in regards to our gifts.
- Let God reveal his gift to you
- Know that gift has power and it was put in you because god trusts you with it – HE CHOSE YOU to carry it
- Not everyone can know the details of your gift: stay silent, stay in seclusion
- Connect with people who feed your gift/awaken your gift (they most likely have a similar gift or are like-minded)
- In time, God will reveal the gift to the world (for the world)
- PRAISE THROUGH THE PROCESS
