Don’t Neglect The Gift You Have

I Timothy 4:11-16

Struggling with being intimidated?  Remember the gift that was given to you that would change the way you see yourself and others.  The gifts that the Holy Spirit gives His children produce encouragement and strength for all those who know their gifting and share it with others.  Pause for a moment and with open hands receive your high calling in Christ Jesus.
