Day 32: Give your Gift

As I mentioned in my previous post, the "heart & hand" concept has completely changed my outlook on destiny and given me a much deeper understanding of how to identify our callings in life.

You may feel like what you have is too insignificant to make a difference. That's okay! What you have will be used as a piece to the big puzzle God is putting together. Maybe you are a corner piece--someone who is a leader. Perhaps your piece belongs to the border that lays the framework of the puzzle before others fit into the middle. Or you could be one of the many middle pieces--you may feel you aren't equipped with anything special, but that is a lie! The puzzle is not complete without you.

I really loved what Greg Laurie wrote in reference to the story of Jesus feeding the 5,000. The little boy who only had a few loaves probably thought they were too insignificant to be of any help to Jesus. I'm guessing he probably felt ashamed and embarrassed it was all he could offer. But...look at the miracle Jesus performed with those small loaves!

Greg writes: It is not what you bring. It is whom you are bringing it to. God can do a lot with a little. And sometimes those who have the least are willing to give more, because they recognize that if anything good results, it has to come from God.

So bring what you have. God can take it, bless it, and use it to touch many. What makes a gift great in God's service? It is not the magnitude of the gift. It is into whose hands the gift is given!
