Hello, this is me feeling inspired to write a blog post. Seeing as I haven't done so in quite some time, I'll try to make this worth it, but no promises! :)
Last night I was just kinda flipping through Romans, and my favorite chapter appeared which is Romans 12. Romans 12 is definitely my favorite chapter of the bible right now, it's just so good.
Romans 12:6-8 says, "(6) In his grace, God has given us different gifts for doing certain things well. So if God has given you the ability to prophesy, speak out with as much faith as God has given you. (7) If your gift is serving others, serve them well. If you are a teacher, teach well.(8) If your gift is to encourage others, be encouraging. If it is giving, give generously. If God has given you leadership ability, take the responsibility seriously. And if you have a gift for showing kindness to others, do it gladly."
I love this passage because it's so simple, but so encouraging. I believe that some of us have gifts that dominate our being. Maybe it's a sport, maybe it's doing crafts, maybe it's singing, or dancing...or writing?
You see, maybe one of my gifts is writing, and maybe this is how I'm supposed to use it, you know? I mean, I've known this since I started this blog, but now it's sort of set in stone. I have a sort of proof that this is me, and this is how I be me.
My favorite part of the verse is probably Romans 12:9-21 which is the rest of the verse. I really encourage you to pick up a bible and read the whole of Romans, or just Romans 12 if you're not feeling too ambitious, but please read some of it somewhere and sometime today. :)
On a side note, what's your favorite book/verse/passage of the bible and what is you gift or gifts that God had given you?
