Gifts

“Do not neglect the gift that is in you, which was given to you.

Meditate on these things; give yourself entirely to them, that your progress may be evident to all.” - ‭‭I Timothy‬ ‭4‬:‭14‬-‭15‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Another way to look at these motivational gifts is:

- The teacher is the bodies mind

- The profit is the bodies eyes

- The encourager is the bodies mouth

- The leader is the bodies shoulders(they carry the burden of getting it done)

- Mercy is the bodies heart

- The giver is the bodies arms

- The server is the bodies hands

One of the ways to discern your motivational gift is to ask the question "why do you want to serve other people?" The other way to identify your motivational gifts is to "examine your irritations." For example, it irritates me to hear preachers who do not encourage others. Why? It is the way I view things as an encourager. May we be careful today to not project on others the burden of doing things the way we do them when the chances are, they have different gifts.

Today may we rejoice and give thanks that as believers, we're all different parts of the body. One completes the other!
