share your gift…

What’s up Maven?

As we step into a brand-new week, let's draw inspiration from the Word of God, specifically 1 Peter 4:10.

This verse serves as a powerful reminder that each one of us has been uniquely gifted by God.

as each one has received a gift, minister it to one another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God. —1 Peter 4:10

This verse goes beyond just acknowledging that we have gifts; it calls us into action.

We are entrusted by God with the responsibility to "minister it to one another," basically, using our gifts to serve others and glorify Him.

Your gift could manifest in many different ways—it might be the ability to teach and impart wisdom, the skill to encourage those who are down, the leadership to guide others, or even the simple yet profound gift of listening.

Each gift has its own value in the Kingdom of God, and each is a tool for ministry.

Being a good steward of God's manifold grace isn't just about recognizing your gifts; it's about utilizing them in a way that enriches the lives of others.

It means not keeping your divine gifts for personal gain but sharing them freely and generously, just as they were given to you by God Almighty!

So, as you go about your day, take a moment to reflect: How can I use my God-given talents to be a blessing to someone else?

Maybe it's by offering a listening ear to a friend in need, or by leading a project that will benefit your community.

Whatever it is, commit to using your gifts not just for yourself, but for the greater good and the glory of God.

Be blessed Maven!
