Using the gifts God has blessed you with

At Joppa there was a certain disciple named Tabitha, which is translated Dorcas. This woman was full of good works and charitable deeds which she did. But it happened in those days that she became sick and died. When they had washed her, they laid her in an upper room. And since Lydda was near Joppa, and the disciples had heard that Peter was there, they sent two men to him, imploring him not to delay in coming to them. Then Peter arose and went with them. When he had come, they brought him to the upper room. And all the widows stood by him weeping, showing the tunics and garments which Dorcas had made while she was with them. But Peter put them all out, and knelt down and prayed. And turning to the body he said, “Tabitha, arise.” And she opened her eyes, and when she saw Peter she sat up. Then he gave her his hand and lifted her up; and when he had called the saints and widows, he presented her alive. And it became known throughout all Joppa, and many believed on the Lord. So it was that he stayed many days in Joppa with Simon, a tanner. (‭Acts‬ ‭9‬:‭36-43‬ NKJV)

Whatever God has given you, use your talent for the glory of God.When you use what you have, where you are, you are bring joy to God.

If you let God use you, He will lift you. If you trust God through your misery, He will bless you with more than you can even dream of. What is impossible for man, isn't impossible for God. Why be a hard copy when you were born an original.

A lifestyle of living for God and loving others, creates a legacy.

What we have learned from Tabitha

• Instead of wishing you had other gifts, make use of the gifts you have.
• The level of your impact is a result of your imitacy with God.
• Don't focus on what you can't do, focus on what God says you can do.
• What you give does not compare to what you gain.
• Your condition is not your conclusion
• When you can't, God can
• What God has done for one, God can do for you
