Are you living life to the fullest?  Are you using all of your God given gifts as He intended when He gave them to you?  If you are a follower of Christ, do you know what your spiritual gifts are?  Are you using them to serve God?

We talked about this at church this past Sunday (to find and hear the message dated May 25, 2009, click here).

Ironically enough, I stumbled upon a blog entry today about the same thing over at Today’s Christian Woman called the ”To-Be List”.  To Be: Gifted being the focus of the day.

As was written in that blog post: “It’s easy to know in concept that God created us all with unique gifts and passions and abilities.  But it’s another thing altogether to identify those gifts, to cultivate those gifts, and to seek outlets for using those gifts.”

If reading that resonates with you, then you’ll for sure want to read the entire blog post.  You’ll be given the opportunity to take a spiritual gift inventory as well as more ideas and resources to get you to look at ways you could be living and serving in your giftedness.

Read “To Be: Gifted”.

We were each created with a purpose for our lives.  Are you using the gifts God gave you to the full extent that He has created you for?

Hmmm… gives us all cause to pause in the busyness of our lives.
