A Blessing for the Gifted

You’re gifted,
Child of God,
You’re gifted.

I bless you to know
Your gifts,
For God to grow
Your gifts,
And for God to show
His love through your gifts.

“Just as the body is one
And has many members,
And all the members of the body,
Though many,
Are one body,
So it is with Christ.” (1 Cor. 12:11, ESV)

The eye needs the hand.
The head needs the foot.
God’s people need you
Because, the old spiritual says,
“Toe bone connected to the foot bone,
Foot bone connected to the heel bone,
Heel bone connected to the ankle bone,
Ankle bone connected to the leg bone….”

Without your gifts at work,
Something’s falling apart.
You’re gifted, beloved,
Gifted.
