God’s Gifts: Seeds That Grow
When God gives us a gift, He doesn’t give it fully formed. He gives it like a seed—small, hidden, and full of potential.
The Bible tells us that a gift must be stirred. To stir it, we need faith. The first time we try to use it, it might not seem to work. We may even ask ourselves, “What’s the use of this?”
But it’s still a seed. With faith and practice, little by little, it begins to grow. Not only does it grow, but it also becomes sharper, stronger, and more effective.
God gives gifts to us like weapons—to face challenges and overcome obstacles. As we use them faithfully, they grow and become easier to wield.
The truth is, God wants to do great things in our lives. He gives us gifts not just for ourselves, but so we can make a difference in the world. All we need is faith to plant the seed, stir it, and let it grow.
