Uncover the joy of you! 1 peter 4:10 sais each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering Gods grace in its various forms. When you think about it no one is perfect at everything but everyone is perfect at something! Rather it be making that one dish that everyone loves, being the perfect mommy to your baby, being a perfect listener, or a perfect cleaner. Just think about it, its really awesome that rather you notice it or not everyone everywhere has a gift. One purpose for being on this earth! The book that im reading sais Albert Einstein had behavioral problems, dyslexia, and was a poor speller and yet he formulated the theory of relativity. WOW!!!! did you guys know that? I sure didn’t! Its kind of inspiring, if he who struggled in some areas did that much good, think what we as individuals are capable of doing! So today im going to look myself in the mirror, not pick myself apart, or think about what’s wrong with me but instead im going to think about what makes me unique and what God has made me perfect at. And I will notice all of the things I LOVE about me!
Today’s devotion is "Temptation’s strategy" How does the devil tempt you to do things that would never appeal to someone else? Ill tell you how, he makes it something that he knows will hit you in your weak spot. For eve it was the apple, pleasing to the eye and good for food. If the serpent would have pointed out a half rotten apple she would not have taken it then. He makes the risk seem minimal and the reward seem great when in fact it is the exact opposite of that. The same way he did that to her he will do that to us. He know our weaknesses and will play them. But we just have to keep our minds on what we are really risking, our relationship with God! And that should be the most important thing of all.

Shannon, it's true all of us have a gift. I learned this years ago. I believe one of your gifts is the gift of encouragement! I'm sure you have others, but I know you have that! And the thing is we can never really use our gifts to our full potential without God. The last month has been eye opening for me. The last few days even more so. I use to seek after God with all my heart. I was a very different person. I turned away from him, bc the devil played on my weakness. I always wanted a guy who loved me for me and treated me right. I found him, and in my mind I couldn't keep both him and God. So I turned my back on the one who has always loved me unconditionally. He knew I was going to do this and in the end his will will be done. I love you!
