The Spiritual Gift
When you accept Christ, something remarkable happens beyond forgiveness. The Holy Spirit takes up residence in you, and with Him comes a spiritual gift—a unique ability designed specifically for building God's kingdom. These gifts aren't decorative. They're not participation trophies. They're tools, deposited into your life with divine intentionality.
Consider this: a basketball in an average person's hands has limited value. But place that same basketball in the hands of Michael Jordan, and you witness greatness. The difference isn't the ball—it's who's wielding it and how it's being used.
Your spiritual gift works similarly. It might seem ordinary to you, but when surrendered to God's purposes and connected to His power, it becomes extraordinary.
