Spiritual Gifts in Our Work

"God has never created a soul without giving them a gift." ~ Steve Harvey

As an active part of Creation,  all we do produces a ripple effect in the Universe.

We don't often give much conscious thought to the fact that each of us is operating within spiritual gifts poured into our being by our Creator. Consider how the work you engage in serves humanity in big and small ways. Though not in the traditional sense as what we experience at church, mosque, temple, or synagogue, each of us has a ministry. 

"There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit distributes them. There are different kinds of service, but the same Lord. There are different kinds of working, but in all of them and in everyone, it is the same God at work." ~ I Corinthians 12:4-6

Most spiritual gifts will fit along the categories of serving, teaching, encouraging, giving, leadership, compassion, wisdom, knowledge, discernment, faith, healing, and helps to name but a few. And it is within these realms of service we find our divine purpose in the Earth plane.

"As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God's varied grace." ~ I Peter 4:10

As you enter your sacred space this week, consider asking for revelation in the area of spiritual gifts. Allow the Creator to reveal how your hands become His in the service of your fellow travelers. The needs of humanity are great indeed and God operates in abundance through each of us. 

There are enough hands in the Earth to break every chain and meet every need once we know how we fit into His Plan. Submit to His Purpose by becoming a good steward of the gifts He has endowed and watch Him work through you in mighty ways.

Have your spiritual gifts been identified?
In what ways have you been applying your spiritual gifts through your work?
How has sharing your spiritual gifts with others broadened your human experience?
