It's Not Mine

Last night in my message I used 1 Corinthians 12:7 and I haven't been able to get it out of my mind for the last week. "The manifestation of the Holy Spirit is given to each one for the profit of all." WOW!! I have spent my entire life under the impression that my gifts were my gifts...that they were given to me for my benefit.

NOT EVEN CLOSE.

My gifts were given to me so that everyone around me would profit from them.

Here's the million $ question...Do the people around me feel that they are profiting from my gifts from the Holy Spirit?

Unfortunately the answer is probably not.

New perspective, new effort.
