Things I Think I Know About Spiritual Gifts

Isaiah 41-44, 1 Cor 12

It’s easier to recognize someone else’s gift than it is to see my own

I’m often more envious of others’ gifts than I am thankful for my own

I’m disappointed when someone out-gifts me

People with developed spiritual gifts make it look easy

Discovering our spiritual gifts is incredibly exciting and simultaneously terrifying

Spiritual gifts are planned to meet a need in the world, somewhere

Spiritual gifts need to be developed

Developing one gift might reveal a new one

If your gift feels like a burden, you’re not using it appropriately

Using your gifts is worship.  It’s also pleasurable.

Spiritual gifts are designed to be used in conjunction with others

Spiritual gifts don’t retire, only people do

Sometimes, I want the gift someone else has

What am I missing?
