God gives us gifts to experience Him--and help others experience Him! He is multi-faceted, and endlessly creative, and we get to be part of Him expressing Himself in this earth!

Did you know that there are now over 7 BILLION people on the planet? And that most of those people are God’s missing children?

“Ask of Me, and I will give You the nations as Your inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth as Your possession. Ask of Me, and I will give You the nations as Your inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth as Your possession.” –Psalm 2:8, Amplified Bible

YOU ARE A GIFT TO THE WORLD! And God has given many gifts to you, that only you can do, to help Him find and bring His missing children back home!

“For God's gifts and His call are irrevocable. [He never withdraws them when once they are given, and He does not change His mind about those to whom He gives His grace or to whom He sends His call.]”  Romans 11:29, Amplified Bible

Your gifts are precious to God—to bless you, and to help others know Him and grow in their walk with Christ.

Romans 12:4-6, The Message, says: In this way we are like the various parts of a human body. Each part gets its meaning from the body as a whole, not the other way around.... So since we find ourselves fashioned into all these excellently formed and marvelously functioning parts in Christ's body, let's just go ahead and be what we were made to be, without enviously or pridefully comparing ourselves with each other, or trying to be something we aren't.

Then, in verses 6-8, various gifts are listed: If you preach, just preach God's Message, nothing else; if you help, just help, don't take over; if you teach, stick to your teaching; if you give encouraging guidance, be careful that you don't get bossy; if you're put in charge, don't manipulate; if you're called to give aid to people in distress, keep your eyes open and be quick to respond; if you work with the disadvantaged, don't let yourself get irritated with them or depressed by them. Keep a smile on your face.

1 Corinthians 12:4-6 also talks about the gifts God gives His people:

4 Now there are distinctive varieties and distributions of endowments (gifts, (extraordinary powers distinguishing certain Christians, due to the power of divine grace operating in their souls by the Holy Spirit) and they vary, but the [Holy] Spirit remains the same. 5 And there are distinctive varieties of service and ministration, but it is the same Lord [Who is served]. 6  And there are distinctive varieties of operation [of working to accomplish things], but it is the same God Who inspires and energizes them all in all.

So, there are many gifts, and of course, creative gifts (especially The Arts-- dance, drawing, painting, sculpture, writing, music, and even baking!) can seem to be a category all to themselves.

The LORD is especially moving in the creative gifts in this Last Days time! These gifts are reaching many people throughout the world; people who would never choose to go to a church or even listen to worship music, etc. But God is endlessly creative, and knows the hearts of every person! Hallelujah, so let's cooperate with Elohim, the One Who created us and everything--and created all good, for good (Genesis 1). 

The main thing is to be led by the Holy Spirit, and share your gifts in Love, to show the world Who Love really is (I John 4:8)! 

So ask the LORD for new ways to use your gifts today, to reach others for Christ Jesus--Who is coming soon!
