The ExchangeSample

Okay, it's time to brag! What's one thing you're really, really good at? Now, there have been times in my life when it was hard for me to see value in my gifts. But fortunately, I've had people in my life who helped me develop those gifts.

We see this in the story of Paul and Timothy, two guys we can read about in Scripture. In the first chapter of the book 2 Timothy, Paul takes time to point out some of Timothy's gifts and encourage him to keep developing them, and to be bold about it too! But whether your gifts include speaking, serving, running, singing, writing, speaking in five different languages, or knowing more about comic books than anyone you've ever met, remember — the important thing is how you use your gifts for a purpose: to serve God and others.

We all have unique gifts that are valuable. Sometimes we just need a little help seeing how valuable they are. So let's all exchange some more wisdom, because we can help each other discover our gifts.
