Gifts

God has given us a very precious and special gift.  We were given the gift of eternal life through our acceptance of the Lordship of His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ.  Upon accepting this gift,  God as another act of His divine love towards us  offered you and I  many other gifts.  These additional gifts were given by His Holy Spirit.  We were given the gift of speaking in tongues, working of miracles, faith, discernment, wisdom, etc.  We are offered an overflow of His divine love.  Sadly, many have rejected so great measure of our Heavenly Father's love and others have placed little to no value on the gifts which they've received.  Those who have rejected His gift of love, seek love in all of the wrong places and by all the wrong means as their attempt to fill the voids in their lives. Many who have accepted His gift of love have so greatly devalued it and taken His Son for granted. Others have appreciated  the gift of love and upon receiving the gifts of the Holy Spirit, became full of pride and selfishness.  Rather than using their spiritual gifts for the perfecting and edifying of the body of Christ, they use it to receive personal worship and praise from others.  The gifts that God offers to you and I is first to teach us how to reciprocate His love. Secondly it is to teach us how to love each other and live in harmony.  What are you doing with the gift(s) that Jehovah God has offered or given unto you?
