“Significance”

Mechanics have the gift of being able to repair broken systems and restore the ability of beautiful machines to do what they were designed to do.

Musicians have the gift of fusing lyrics and melodies in such a way that their songs bring people together and remind them: you are not alone!

Baristas have the gift of crafting delicious drinks that not only can give people energy, but that remind us that joy can be found in the simplicity of the everyday.

What each of these people have in common is that the most satisfying use of their abilities comes when their gifts are used to bring wholeness, healing, and joy to others.

In the next part of our Cycle of Grace series, we look at a truth that runs throughout the Bible: God always intends for our gifts – whether our temperaments, talents, or resources – to be used to bless others.
