Our spiritual gifts...

We must not say, I am nothing, therefore I will sit still, and do nothing; but, I am nothing in myself, and therefore I will lay out myself to the utmost, in the strength of the grace of Christ. Whatever our gifts or situations may be, let us try to employ ourselves humbly, diligently, cheerfully, and in simplicity; not seeking our own credit or profit, but the good of many, for this world and that which is to come.

Wow, what an amazing, powerful verse! It definitely says a lot of things that I've actually been learning through a few experiences and other things going on! Thanks, Aimee!

Just curious; WAS that a verse? If so, would you happen to know where it would be found?

Yes, I agree. A girl at the bible collage thing on Monday said to me that whatever talents you have been given, God GAVE them to us so we could use them for him and he has a plan to use them for him in the future. So basically we need to try and go as far as we can with our talents and gifts now, so that God can use them to the full later...and that might be sooner then we think. ya, what she said really got me thinking, I mean, I've thought about it before, but I havent really thought about it before...I do that with a lot of things.
I hope that made some sense.
