What's My Name?

God's gifts and His call can never be withdrawn.  Romans 11:29

One of the greatest features in our family mini-van is the built-in DVD player. An even cooler feature is that the van came complete with wireless headphones so the boys can watch their DVDs and I am able to listen to music instead of the audio from movies like ‘The Lego Movie, ‘The Avengers’ or ‘Wreck It Ralph.’ We try not to utilize the DVD feature unless on a longer trip, so our youngest son was mad at me for not letting him watch a movie the other day on our five minute drive over to Turkey Creek.  He was so mad that he demanded that his last name be changed to something else other than 'Fisher.'

It's pretty humorous, but God's call on our lives is much like our family name; even when you feel dishonored by your family, you still keep your family name.

The exact same principle holds true for our spiritual gifts, which are given to all believers upon accepting Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Savior.  Because we are children of God, we are given special gifts and are expected to use them to perform certain tasks for Him.  Sometimes, we squander away our time and we don't use our gifts to bring glory to God and expand His kingdom on earth.  Regardless, God does not take the gifts away from us; we just miss out on all of the good and blessings God has in store for us.

Every day that you greet the morning, you are given another opportunity to use your Spiritual gifts to live out God's will for your life-don't waste another day!!
