Have you had
your JOY JUICE today? It comes in a
variety of flavors, you know! Find the
one that suits your taste!
God loves
variety…that’s obvious. Look around
you! At every turn you see variety…..no
two people are alike (not even twins); there are countless varieties of
flowers, trees, plants which add to the beauty of nature. Even the clouds in the sky and billions of
snowflakes that fall all over the world are each unique in their formation.
Because of
his love for variety, He has created YOU for a special purpose. He has gifted you with special abilities for
serving Him. These gifts are given to
us….not because we have earned them or deserve them! Because of His great love for each of us, He
has uniquely gifted us.
1
Corinthians 12:11 speaks of gifts: "All these are the work of one and the same
Spirit, and he gives them to each one, just as he determines."
We don’t get to
pick and choose our gifts. It’s not like
asking for what we want for our birthday or making a Christmas wish list. GOD GIVES US WHAT HE KNOWS WE NEED to fulfill
His plan and His purpose. We should
thank Him for giving us the gifts He has lovingly selected… and realize that we
have a responsibility to use and polish those gifts. We must, also, remember that we can take NO
CREDIT for what God has freely given us…..ALL GLORY should go to HIM!
So as you
celebrate your God-given gifts, drink your special flavor of JOY JUICE…and
always be willing to share with those He brings into your path as He accomplishes His purpose through you.
