Give Your Gift Away

“He dictated all these words to me, while I wrote them with ink on the scroll.” Jeremiah 36:18

My writers heart explodes when God talks about writing on tablets, writing in scrolls, writing His words down to remember, to tell, and to show future generations.

I just revel in those verses and moments documented in Scripture.

As a writer, I know my God given gift is to share His word and His stories. I know how much passing down the stories of His goodness, His justice, His mercy and grace is important to Him.

I don’t take that lightly. I have written the books He has placed on my heart and I do my best to continue to write everyday. Whether it’s through a social media post, a sermon, a blog, or whatever He is stirring in me…I speak of Him to those who will listen and read.

We often see our gifts as small or one sided, and we don’t give God enough credit for how He’s using them. But when we step back and look at the bigger picture, we can see His grace woven through the little things we do. That realization should build our confidence, not in ourselves, but in Him, and in what He has already placed in our hands to give away.

I share because I feel inclined to.

I share my daily revelations of God to others because I have this urgency to.

It’s not for me, but for Him.

Being part of a Bible study group online or reading a blog isn’t “life changing” but it’s those little stones, the tiny seeds, the words written down to read that make a bigger impact more than we could ever think or imagine.

I have no idea who reads my writings.

I have no idea how it impacts them or what “God nuggets” they take away.

I was just told by God to write and share, so I do.

Here I am, writing on my scroll with ink. Or typing with my thumb on my iPhone. The dictations God gives me, in hopes that His words penetrate your heart and give you the encouragement, the courage, and the inspiration you may need. That these words point to Him and no one else.

Scrolls, ink, words aren’t much alone.

But put together, they are powerful.

Imagine what YOU could do if you picked up the pen God is handing you? Whether it’s truly a pen, or a ministry, a new business plan, a new position at work, or fill in the blank. He is handing you something, and it’s worth sharing the gift with those around you.

Correction: He already HAS handed you something. You must find out what that gift is and run with it.

You may never know the impact your gift has, but that’s not the point of the gift.

The gift is just that, to give it away, and God will do the rest.

God gave us the ultimate gift, and we are called to follow His example by giving ours away too. The very gift He placed in you is exactly what someone else needs!
