Do the Dream

To each person gifts have been given and gifts are revealed in the giving. If you want to know what your gifts are then you need to discern the desire of your heart. What good thing do you desire to do? What’s your dream? If you will delight yourself in the Lord He will give you the desires of your heart. In other words, He will make His will your desire and then empower you to fulfill it.

If you don’t want your dream to lie dormant then you need to declare it. Don’t tell your dreams to doubters and get discouraged but declare it to someone who can help you do it. Tell the vision, write it down and make it plain, simple and easy to explain.

Once your gifts are known and shown then you will need to develop them. Just because your desire to do something doesn’t mean that you have the ability to do it. But if you will be diligent and give God your time He will coach give you His ability. But if you don’t use it you’ll never learn how to use it.

Once you’ve developed your gifts a bit then it’s time to distribute. The gifts were given to you, but not for you but for your giving. It doesn’t matter how awesome the gifts may be, they will never bless anyone until they’re given. Just “do what you know” and as you sow they will grow. God multiplies what you give so you’ll have more for the giving. And as you continue to distribute what you were given for giving, you’ll enjoy life and be really living!

Ps 37:4-5
4 Delight yourself also in the Lord,
And He shall give you the desires of your heart.

5 Commit your way to the Lord,
Trust also in Him,
And He shall bring it to pass.

1 Peter 4:10-11
10 As each one has received a gift, minister it to one another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God. 11 If anyone speaks, let him speak as the oracles of God. If anyone ministers, let him do it as with the ability which God supplies, that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belong the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen.

2 Cor 9:6-15

6 But this I say: He who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. 7 So let each one give as he purposes in his heart, not grudgingly or of necessity; for God loves a cheerful giver. 8 And God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may have an abundance for every good work. 9 As it is written:

"He has dispersed abroad,
He has given to the poor;
His righteousness endures forever."

10 Now may He who supplies seed to the sower, and bread for food, supply and multiply the seed you have sown and increase the fruits of your righteousness, 11 while you are enriched in everything for all liberality, which causes thanksgiving through us to God. 12 For the administration of this service not only supplies the needs of the saints, but also is abounding through many thanksgivings to God, 13 while, through the proof of this ministry, they glorify God for the obedience of your confession to the gospel of Christ, and for your liberal sharing with them and all men, 14 and by their prayer for you, who long for you because of the exceeding grace of God in you. 15 Thanks be to God for His indescribable gift!
