I thought I had my spiritual gift all figured out. I thought that music was my gift... and somehow that was my spiritual gift?? I'm not sure anymore.
Last night we discussed that we should not get natural talents mixed up with spiritual gifts. Singing is a talent... playing guitar is a talent... but I think your spiritual gift is just something that is part of your being. I'm hoping that writing this will help me get some answers somehow.
To figure out more spiritual gifts we looked up some more verses. In Ephesians 4:11-13, there are some more gifts stated and some repeated: apostles, prophets, evangelist, pastors, and teachers. : /
That verse hadn't helped me either. We talked about how important it is to find out what your spiritual gift is. Once you know what it is you'll be more effective in church and your own life. If everyone in the body of Christ knew what their spiritual gift was, can you imagine how effective we would be?
I just know that music is something that I've always loved and that when I sing I feel closer to God because I know its for him. I don't know what it could be. I'm not comfortable at all with speaking in front of people, my leadership are not great because I'm not really outspoken and bold, and I don't feel like my prayer is really effective... bad I know. I do pray. I am obedient and pray when I'm told to. And I don't doubt God's power. I doubt myself. I feel like I never say the right thing. When some people pray they make it sound so powerful and blessed.
So I don't have much of a conclusion for this one. Lol. But it's just something that is on my mind...
