Today I made a list of all the things that come easily to me - things I used to take for granted but now recognize as incredible gifts from God. It was an incredible experience, for I found that each gift showed me a glimpse of what God is like. Certain gifts, like a natural compassion for kids, are regularly thought of as ways to show an aspect of God's character, so no surprise there. But others, like anything artistic, I feel are often overlooked. These gifts speak of His incredible creativity, His zest for life, and His sense of humor.
It's funny because I used to beg God to show me more of what He was like - what made Him laugh, or what His favorite color was. I never dreamed the answers lay in the gifts I ignored because I didn't credit God with granting them to me. I thought that by claiming God's gifts as my own natural ability, I would gain a sense of fulfillment. But in reality, I lost everything, because I lost sight of God.
