Ep.3 Why You Must Understand Your Gift is Not For You with David D. Simons
There are many who dont know their gifts or purpose and on the contrary there are many people who know their purpose, but have not learned an important key. Imagine Michael Jordan playing basketball by himself in the confinement of his home and never allowing any of us to watch him play. What if Mozart kept all his music locked up in his basement, or if Michael Angelo created masterpieces and destroyed them before anyone could see them. The world would have been robbed if these gifts were not shared. My good friend from episode 3 Cortney Sargent shared a revelation with me recently that blew my mind. He said, that we are trees and trees cannot eat their own fruit, and in addition if no one eats the fruit from the tree, the fruits perish and die. We are each called to bear fruit, but our gifts and talents are not for us. In the weeks that Ive struggled with my purpose, Ive found that the reason why I struggled so much was that I was not using the gift God gave me (which is a the gift of encouragement) for others. Instead, I got into my little bubble and tried to stay encouraged without encouraging. This is the quickest way to self-destruct. Your gift is a gift and it has to be given! I havent written an article for Being Encouraged for over three months and I found that my lack of encouragement and lack of writing not only discouraged our audience, but also discouraged me. I need to use my gift just as much as someone needs to receive my gift, and it is the same for you!
