Fanning the Flame of God's Gifts

2 Timothy 1:6---Wherefore I put thee in remembrance that thou stir up the gift of God, which is in thee by the putting on of my hands.

God has endowed each of us with special gifts. We do not always know what God has given us in terms of His special gifts to us. We may be unaware of His gifts for many years. Many people are never truly aware of God's special gifts to them. We are to use God's special gifts for His glory. We are to use His special gifts to us by giving His gifts away in whatever way we can. We are to maximize His gifts to us by fanning the flames of His gifts. We are to burn with fire to use His gifts in as many ways and as many places as possible. In doing God's work and using His gifts, we are not to be timid about our activity. We are to live and use His gifts with a spirit of power, love, and self-discipline. We are not to be ashamed of the gifts God has given us but we are to be bold about how He has blessed us and cared for us.
