And don't say that you don't...because it's just not true. In fact, most of us have so many gifts that we don't know where to start to use them. I'm not talking about money or stuff either!
What talent, what vocation, what experience do you have that can be used to serve God and His purpose for your life? At the same time, it will most likely serve others.
Case and point...an accountant has stepped forward and offered his assistance to help us apply for tax-exemption status so that donations made to Boundless Ministries can be tax deductible. We knew this was the direction we were headed, but had no idea where to start. We didn't even have to ask for assistance. God laid it upon this person's heart to offer at just the right time.
There probably aren't too many accountants out there that other than serving on a church's financial committee foresee how their skills can be used...our example isn't only perfect for us...I think it's creative to use his skills in this way.
So what about you? What skill, experience, talent, knowledge or giftedness do you have that can be used to help an individual, a church or a minsitry? Think outside the box a little...get creative...you'll be surprised at how God can use what He's already given you!
