Gifts and Shifts

We are given gifts to serve others during our lives.
The sense of purpose and destiny this knowledge has given me has shifted the mundane in life to ministry many times. The compass that directs my choices and actions is also this understanding. It is present always as true North and directing my journey.
Yet, gifts shift as I move along, sometimes trudging, sometimes skipping. Sometimes bent over with the weight of burdens as I stumble the rough road while other times, arms raised in the air as I dance swiftly over the smooth path.
God knows what is needed to exercise the gifts that He has given me. Where I need to be. What I need to do. How I need to hear Him. Who I need to see through His eyes. And heart...how to love as He does.
I pray I will be open to the shifting that happens and let the gifts rise up again that may have been buried for a season.
