WHAT IS A GIFT?

The Many Forms of a GiFTS 

A gift is more than something wrapped in paper and tied with a bow. It comes in countless forms—some seen, some felt, and some experienced in ways that words cannot fully capture. A gift can be:

• A Kind Gesture – A smile at the right time, a comforting word, a helping hand in a moment of need.
• A Relationship – A mentor, a friend, a family member who loves you unconditionally.
• A Moment of Revelation – The wisdom gained through trials, the lessons learned through experience.
• A Talent or Ability – The voice that sings, the hands that create, the mind that innovates.
• Time & Presence – The willingness to simply be there for someone when it matters most.

The Ultimate Truth: We Are Gifts & We Have Gifts

Beyond receiving gifts, we must realize that we are gifts. Each of us is intentionally created by God, formed with a purpose, and placed in this world to bring light, love, and transformation.

Just as we unwrap presents, our gifts from God need to be discovered, nurtured, and shared. Your unique strengths, passions, and calling are not random—they are divine. Some gifts serve the world through action, others through wisdom, some through encouragement, and others through leadership.

You are a gift. Your life, your presence, your love—it matters. And within you lies a gift meant to impact others. God has placed something powerful inside you. Will you embrace it? Will you share it?

"Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows." – James 1:17
