Definition of the word Gift;  Something freely given: a natural ability: the gift of God

When a gift is freely given , it's given directly form the heart.  The bible tells us it is good to desire spiritual gifts, and I think because the  spiritual gifts are from God. Some of us, do acknowledge these gifts and others aren't sure they posses them.

When you aren't sure about your gift or gifts, you should do a prayer and Godly meditation and ask God to reveal to  you, your gift or gifts to you.  So, you can glorify him by using the gifts that he has given you.  I have been blessed in knowing which gifts, I posses and; I try to use them every day of my life in God's service.

My gifts aren't use in the church, but in the every day world that we live in.  I use my gifts by helping others every chance I get.  I relish the idea of helping others, whether it's with materialistc services, or mental  or physical services: I always try to make my self available to the cause.  I do my ministry with joy in my heart and a joyous smile on my face, I  try to glorify his name; every day that I live.
