Gifts
Potential and talents are God's gifts to us; What we do with them are our gifts back to God.
What gifts or talents have you been given that would serve God's purposes?
Interesting! Well, I can tell you this much--what I thought were gifts and talents were not. In sobriety I've learned that God has truly blessed me with as much potential and talent as anyone on this planet. I know now that it's my duty and honor to develop these talents and use them as God intended. Am I using them? Yes I am, to the best of my ability at this time in my recovery and my life. Could I use them more and better? ABSOLUTELY!!!!
My spiritual gifts are helps and administration. I feel that I am using them both, but there sure is a lot more that I could do. I also have become aware of a lot of talents.
Seems like there is so much more I could do and would like to do.
All I need is more time! Been trying to deal with balance as Iong as I have been in the program. Seems like I do it better than I used to though. Hope to keep improving :)
