What an Amazing Gift!

We all realize when someone gives or "gifts" us with "something" whether it is a material present or a kind word, compliment or wisdom about a situation, we each have the choice of accepting the "gift" or rejecting it.  It is much the same with gifts from the Holy Spirit. It says in 1 Corinthians 2:16 We have been given the mind of Christ!  Unless we acknowledge and focus our attention on this truth and fact, it will not be fully activated to bring about change and breakthroughs in our lives. 

I know there have been more times than I like to think about when I

have given people gifts and it seemed that they were neither appreciated or utilized.

If you think about it, what you give whether time, money, opportunities, material gifts, etc. these represent a part of who you are an what your life represents.

In the above Scripture, we have the confident truth that we have been gifted with the mind of Christ! As believers, it is important to engage and access this truth by faith so that we make mindful decisions based on who lives in us and acknowledge what is available in our decision making process every single day.  Just like, as mentioned earlier, when we have used our time, love, care, resources for others it makes us genuinely happy and pleased the recipient is benefiting from the gift.....As you can imagine, it pleases the Holy Spirit for us to benefit from Jesus' gift to us. The actual meaning of Mind in the Hebrew language is to conceive, a thing framed and imagination.  Just think, you have been gifted with the imagination of Christ. Stop and "conceive" that!

Power Confession:  I acknowledge that I have been given the amazing gift of the Mind of Christ.

I accept it. Thank you Lord!
