God Gives Gifts To His People
Ephesians 4:4-8
For there is one body and one Spirit, just as you have been called to one glorious hope for the future. There is one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who is over all, in all, and living through all. However, he has given each one of us a special gift through the generosity of Christ. That is why the Scriptures say, “When he ascended to the heights, he led a crowd of captives and gave gifts to his people.” (Ephesians 4:4-8)

If you don’t know what your gifts are, ask God. Then, start using those gifts to be a blessing to all those around you. ~ Jeff M Newman
