"But He said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me"- 2 Corinthians 12:9 (NIV).
Some people are so blessed to have certain gifts: leadership, wealth, entertainment, sports, intellect, beauty, speaking, writing, artistic, and languages. The list could go on and on. If I had any of them, I would use them for the Lord and for His kingdom. However, I'm not endowed with any special gift. Isn't that wonderful! Anything good that comes from me can only go to the glory of the Father. It becomes my own edification, unless I share with others that I don't possess any of the resources to make things happen. It's amazing when God works through me and, oh, so obvious. A gifted person may wonder if it was from his gift or if God worked through him at that moment. Granted, all the gifts come from God, but over time, as the gift is used, you can begin to wonder, was that me or was that God? A gift-less person never wonders about such things. It's all God. All things go to the glory of God, but I'm feeling blessed to be gloriously gift-less today.
