I love to learn new things about people. It is great to find hidden talents that people have, and encourage them to use them for God's glory. We are so self-conscious that many die never really doing anything with the gifts and talents God has given them. Why do we hesitate to share these things? I think it is because the things that are truly from God expose who we are as a person down to the very core of our being. If we were rejected when we showed our talent, then it would crush us. It would not only be a rejection of our talent, but a rejection of everything that we are.
Jeremiah 29:11 11 For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
1 Peter 4:10 10 Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering God's grace in its various forms.
There is a connection between the gifts that God has given us and our spirit. I think that is why it is so sensitive. It ties into our purpose in life. We must be willing to step out in faith, and expose our purpose and pour out our hearts to this world; "administering God's grace in its various forms"...
