Stir Up the Gift!

If being all that God wants you to be is truly your destination, it's going to take some stirring. Stirred up people got what I call "grit" about them. They are passionate, pit bulls, who refuse to stay defeated. Stirred up people are energetic and enthusiastic about life and it's opportunities. So how bad do you really want what's deep down in your heart? How bad do you really want to see your dreams become realized? It's going to take you stirring up the gift on the inside of you. Our gifts must be treated as precious. God gave each us gifts to use for His glory and His glory alone. Value your gift. It truly is God's venue that He uses to reach the world. My gift is encouraging people. Exhortation. Nothing makes me feel better than watching God miraculously cause someone to go from being fearful and insecure to a confident and higher-than-life attitude, because they now realize how much God really does loves them and is for them. It's truly a gift that I value with all of my heart. You also have a gift. There's a reason why Paul told Timothy to stir up the gift himself. No one can stir you up like you can. No one can fan your flame like you can. A million people can tell you, "You can do it!", but still there's nothing like when you hear your own voice say, "I can do this!" You are your best cheerleader. So let's stir up the gift within us!!! You stir it up by not neglecting it, but instead choosing to work it and use it. You stir it up in your prayer time alone with God as His compassionate nature rubs off on you and causes you to no longer hold back what's in you to give others. So stir it up, Love, because this world need what's in YOU! (2Timothy 1:6)
