Actually if you read 1 Corinthians 12, Paul says that not everyone has every gift, but even so we should desire to have them.
All I can say is, the more you walk in the Spirit, the more God uses you, and the more you mature. The more you mature, the more you use your gifts and the more gifts you can use. It's a process.
Hi,
I don't think in the beginning, that I ever did anything for God, that I loved. And, if I have every gift that The Holy Spirit Has to give, I sure don't recognize that.
I do work for God. I have been directly working for Him, for 12 years now.
Even today, two things I must always relearn.
1. Pray, even if I hate it.
2. Do what God wants, even if I don't want to do it.
There is a third thing, I must learn constantly.
3. I am not the gifts in me.
A fourth thing is also there.
4. I am doing nothing, rather it is God with me or Graces of God in me, that is at work.
Hopefully with this fifth item, I am done.
5. If I don't spend time with Jesus, in my case Eucharistically, then in two months or so, I am no longer effective.
LOVE,
...Mary., .... .
