If God Gave You a Gift

If God Gave You A Gift…

If God gave you a gift…  
Would you use it?
Or would you walk away and refuse it?

If he gave you this gift, to help out mankind…
Would you listen to him?  Or say “never mind?”

He gives to his children different 
talents and abilities.
And gives his spirit to help
with guidance and stability.

May you be encouraged to seek his direction.
And study his word for needed correction.

With the gifts he offers, will you walk away?
Or say to yourself; “I’ll do it.”  
“Just not today.”

The gifts he offers a special! This is his goal…
His purpose in our lives is to touch the lost soul!

His gifts are incredible! They’re for all to receive!
Having faith for Christ
 is what one must achieve!

I pray you’ll take this moment to speak to him.
Won’t you open up your heart?  And trust him?

Please come dear Jesus, 
and touch our lives today!
Help us to use your gifts
 in what we do and say!
