If you look deep enough, we all have a gift. Some of us can carry a tune an sing like and angel. Others can draw, paint, and create masterpieces. You may have a crafty side. Someone else may be able to sew, while another bakes. All awesome gifts.
Someone can lead. Another can be good with numbers and be a financial wizard. One of you can teach while another can create outstanding programs with computer language.
If you look hard enough, some of us have more than one gift.
And, where did these gifts come from?
Why, God, of course. He is the true giver of all gifts. And I thank God so very much for my gift to write.
Do any of you know the truest and greatest gift anyone can offer God?
I'll give you a few seconds.
tick. tick. tick. tick.
Give up?
Okay, you in the back, bouncing up and down like a kangaroo. I bet you know the answer, right?
Love.
Well, you're pretty darn close, thank you playing, you can pick up your consolation prize when you leave.
The truest and greatest gift anyone can offer God is WORSHIP.
"Mary brought in a pint of very expensive perfume made from pure Nard. She poured the perfume on Jesus' feet, and then she wiped his feet with her hair. And the sweet smell from the perfume fill the whole house." John 12:3
Mary's actions sprang from her heart, and the above scripture is a message of God's greatest desire and a woman's greatest gift to him all in one.
Joyous and sacrificial worship comes in many forms. Whatever your gift, give it to God, and let the fragrance of worship refresh him and strengthen your heart.

Great post Vicki. Definitely the perfect way to honor God. :)-Ashley
Thank you so much, Ashley. Have a blessed day!
So true, and we can worship God in so many ways. People don't always see it that way but an artist's drawing or a writer's words can even be worship.
Good stuff, Vicki. I think you're right. Thanks for sharing my SITS Day yesterday!
We are all blessed with many different gifts, aren't we? I hope that I can spread a little of God's love with my words. Thank you for sharing your faith with us!
Colleen, Laurie, and Stevie, thank you so much for your comments and support. I truly appreciate it. Have a blessed day.
