CREATIVE ME!!!
“ Getting to Know ” Gifts, Abilities, Intrinsic Value
Created for Purpose 1 youneed to see yourself through the eyes of God who made you! Not through the eyes of those who do not really know you and who may have dissed you! st Each one of you was created by Godfor a purpose and He has a plan for your life. The planGod has for you is UNIQUE and HE wants you to know that! You are fearfully and wonderfullymade (Ps 139: 14 – 18)
14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. 15My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place, when I was woven together in the depths of the earth. 16Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be. 17How precious to me are your thoughts, God! How vast is the sum of them! 18Were I to count them, they would outnumber the grains of sand— when I awake, I am still with you. Psalm139: 14 – 18
Created for Purpose There is no need to try to be anyone else JUST be YOU!! You are not an accident! While you have lots of things in common with other young people ... you are unique…there is absolutely NO-ONE else like you in the whole wide world. NO-ONE!!!! Your finger print, body odour are all peculiar to you. This has been scientifically proven…hence the use of fingerprinting, DNA tests and sniffer dogs.
? But who are YOU Do you know YOU What makes YOU different from other young people

“Natural” http://www.google.gy
Natural skillsare something you have a "knack" for that you tend to do so naturally you don't realize that you're good at it.
“Spiritual Gifts” A spiritual gift is NOTanatural abilitywith which you're born. It'sNOTanoffice, positionorjobyou hold.
Spiritual gifts are: ABILITIESthat allow you to perform specific tasks beyond the realm of human skill. They're given to BELIEVERSin Jesus Christ only, and they're given as gifts — not as a result of your maturity level, prayer or education.
Every Christian has at least spiritual gift. It's up to you (ME!)to discover, develop and exercise yours (MINE!). 1
