God grants us each,
some spiritual gifts;
they are most useful,
when to Him we lift.
Be firmly rooted,
immersed in His word;
follow Christ’s teachings,
so His heart is heard.
Steer clear of the myths,
mind not old wives’ tales;
train well in His ways,
for they never fail.
Spiritual fitness,
reaps heaven’s reward;
faith to move mountains,
with future secured.
Let our lives be full,
faithful purity;
may all see His love,
and captives set free.
May we watch our lives,
ever diligent;
persevere in faith,
lead lost to repent.
(Responding to I Timothy 4:7-15)
Dear Heavenly Father, thank You that You grant each of us good gifts, given to be used for Your glory. Help us to embrace and operate in these gifts, faithfully and wholly dependent on You. Train us in the ways You want us to go, and grant us ears to hear, hearts to understand, and feet that are willing to walk wherever You call. Forgive us for not investing all that we ought to in our spiritual training. Please teach us to trust You more, so that we may rise up and reveal more of You as we live lives of love, unto You. May many come to know You as we are intentional to seek and serve however we are called. Amen.

Amen, Shannon. I often wonder at the tremendous riches God has given his people that remain undiscovered and under-utilized. It is my passion that believers learn to fully express the gifts with which God has blessed us.
Yes! 🙂
