Sharing Our Gifts
Are you aware that you have been given, like Moses, certain spiritual gifts? Go over the following list. Help yourself to recognize how these gifts are present in your life. Then describe in writing one specific way you will use these gifts this week to serve God and others.
1) The gift of prophecy
One of the meanings of prophecy is to speak, sing, or dance with enthusiasm in praise of God.
How might you use this gift?
2) The gift of healing
One way of healing others is to listen patiently and with compassion to their troubles and complaints.
How might you use this gift?
3) The gift of prayer
One way of practicing this gift is to offer faithful intercessory prayer for people who are sick, homeless, addicted, or cut off from others. How might you use this gift?
