TOTD, Jan 17

What's Your Gift, My Friend?

I read Bo Sanchez blog today (Bo Sanchez is a preacher from the Philippines).
As usual, his blog is always full of new inspirational thing. This time he shared a story about his friend, Alvin Barcelona who's been a wonderful singer all his life. Alvin celebrated his birthday by singing in front of the very old, the sick, the blind, the paralyzed, the mentally handicapped, the poorest of the poor --- people who would never be able to pay for a concert. Except with their smile and tears (source: Bo Sanchez's blog).

Then Bo challenged all the readers including me by asking: " What is your gift, my friend?"
With those gift that we've got, maybe we could brighten somebody's day. With that gift, we could be what Bo called: God's kiss to this world. We could spread more love by becoming His kiss in this world.

You must have a gift from God within yourself. So, what's your gift, my friend? Find it, explore it, really strive your full ability in it. And you'll see, that you might spread His love more and more each day in this world.(-fon-)

We have different gifts, according to the grace given us...
--- Romans 12:6
