"Do not neglect the gift that is in you…"



Great advice.  It's easy to get wrapped up in our daily lives.  What can we do to keep from neglecting those gifts? 

1 Timothy 4:14(NKJV)
Do not neglect the gift that is in you, which was given to you by prophecy with the laying on of the hands of the eldership. 

I guess I would suggest first of all being aware of your gifts.  Then I think the next thing is to make it a point to ask God to guide you in how He wants you to use those gifts.  And then finally, take action.  Use the gifts.  It is by using the gifts that you grow. 

In fact it is my belief that if you use your gifts for God, He will give you more gifts.  It's like the Parable of the Talents.  The servants who used their gifts wisely were given more.  The servant who didn't use his gift ended up losing the gift that he had.  What's the old saying?  Use it or lose it!
