Listen to the Word
Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God's grace in its various forms. (1 Peter 4:10)

There are a lot of different ways to identify your gifts. You can pray for wisdom, confident that God doesn't want to hide your gift from you. You can ask people who know you well what gifts they see in you. You can look for a place where there is an intersection between the world's need and your joy.

Probably the best way to find your gift is through trial and error. If you wonder if you might have a gift for a particular type of ministry, try it. If you perceive that God is using you in ways that go beyond your own skill, and you feel a sense of electricity that comes from doing what you are made to do, then you've probably found your gift.

God has gifted you to make a difference for him!

Live the Word
Ask someone who knows you well what they think your God-given gift might be. Make arrangements to experiment with that possible gift soon.
