Scripture
1 Timothy 4:14-16
Do not neglect your gift, which was given you through prophecy when the body of elders laid their hands on you. Be diligent in these matters; give yourself wholly to them, so that everyone may see your progress. Watch your life and doctrine closely. Persevere in them, because if you do, you will save both yourself and your hearers.

Application
Charles Schulz is my idol when it comes to art. I love his over simplistic lines put together to make funny and well loved characters simply known as the Peanuts. He had a true gift. He made every child (and adult) feel like they always mattered, they were enough, and their dreams could take them anywhere. Do you know what your gift means to others? Have you ever asked yourself what can you do for someone? In days like we are living now, this question is so important. Where can you use your gift today to make someone else feel loved?
Prayer
Lord, thank you for the many gifts you have given us. Let us remember to share our gifts with one another. Help us use them the way you planned all along and not keep them to ourselves. Together we can survive anything when we pull together and share our gifts. ~Amen
