The Gift

How do you use your gift
For God loves to give them
Oh the so many beautiful voices
He has given to sing his praise
That began in a small church 
Are used to lead people away
But they will give him praise
For the entertainment of the world
As if he gave it to them to gain
The treasures that will be left behind
The greatest voice I have ever heard
Is one that started singing for the world
But cried out to his savior
And then he sang for the one that gave him life
This voice will bring comfort to the soul
So many will be given a gift to write for God
But not many will like or give them praise
So they confide to the world to receive self praise
There are many gifts that are given
It's just do you receive self praise
Or do seek to give it all to God
And you preachers that tell your followers
God will bless you in riches of the this world
How foolish could one not see
That is living in Christ this to be what we seek
The greatest gift you will ever inherit
Is the holy spirit dwelling within
Molding and creating a new creation
That gives a seal unto eternal life

Too many of us never recognize our gifts, and for those that do, too few use them for good purposes. It is a shame... You give the reader much to ponder here in this poem... Keep up the great writing, Stephan!

Thanks all praise to God, this is the only reason I write, to express what He has done in my life and hope someone else may seek His love and guidance

All of us are blessed with gifts galore. Those who discern that they are from God are blessed. Those who use those gifts to glorify God are more blessed! Thanks for sharing your beautiful poem, dear Stephen !
