We sometimes think our spiritual gift is something we’re passionate about doing. I’m confident God fans the flame of passion in us, but what if we’re not ultra-excited about something…does that mean we’re not gifted for it? What if that just means we’re being stubborn and not accepting God’s will? If I’m gifted to teach, will I be excited about teaching every moment of my life? I may be gifted in advising others, but will I whole-heartedly want to always listen to people whine and complain? Probably not! We’re human, ladies, and we need to not base our gifts and the use of our gifts on our emotions and experiences. ALL of our gifts work together, and EACH of us is essential to the fully-functioning body of Christ. You’re human. You’re going to doubt yourself. But don’t doubt God. When you question your giftedness, you question God’s ability and wisdom. He knows what he’s doing. No exceptions.
