“Become the Gift That Keeps on Giving”

What talent or gifting do you have that comes naturally? This is the question I asked last week at our campus meeting. The best answer was that someone said they are naturally good at smelling things. I guess you had to be there. One of the main reasons I asked this question was so that we could begin to discover how God has created us and how He created everyone with unique gifts. The best part about the night was that everyone was able to point out a gifting that they have... everyone.

THIRST is an acronym for our campus ministries values. The letter T stands for The Gospel Expressed. Our ministry believes that God’s love can be expressed through many facets, like speaking, singing, dancing, writing, kindness, etc. The key is doing it in a way students can connect the expression back to God.

This is why were talking about gifts. We all have natural talents and gifts that we’re born with that we'll always have. And if you’re a Christian, you’re called to express the Gospel. The good news, is that you don’t have to express the Gospel like everyone else all the time, because we all have different gifts and talents. So feel free to use what what you got. Cause when you do, you truly become the gift that keeps on giving.
