Gifts

"Now concerning spiritual [gifts], brethren, I do not want you to be ignorant:" - Cor. 12:1

      Thorugh the Holy Spirit whatich was given to us from our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, to dwell in these vessels of ours. God kew that the world would be difficult to live in with the values given to us, so He gave us the Holy Spirit, also known as a "Helper." It is the Spirit of God dwelling in us to guide us, to convict us; to comfort us.
      The Holy Spirit is the golden ticket and Heaven is the Willy Wonka Factory, but Heaven is far more exceeds some candy factory, in fact, no mind can fathom it. Because of the Spirit we will be able to stand in the presence of God, and wehen He looks at us He won't see a sinful person. He'll see Himself, like a man who looks into a puddle of water and sees a reflection of himself.
      With that being said, I am missing acouple things the Spirit also give us. The Spirit also gives certain people the gifts of: worship, leadership, teaching, etc. but we (and this is especially for me) can not be ignorant and believe that these gifts are from ourselves. That mentality puffs us up, rather then humbling us. Instead, we must realize that the gifts are from God. I always remember that.

Application: I will praise God and thank Him for my gifts.
