Sometimes clarity about our gifts doesn’t come because someone names them for us—it comes because we see them come alive in action. In Luke 2, Jesus is found in the temple, fully engaged in the place where His gifts naturally surface. Often, faithful participation reveals what prolonged analysis cannot. God meets us in motion and invites us to keep showing up with humility and trust.
We don’t always recognize the full value of a gift at the moment we receive it. Often, what feels ordinary at first reveals itself over time to be far better than we expected. In Ephesians 3, Paul reminds believers that the issue isn’t access to God’s work—it’s our capacity to recognize it. God may be doing more in you than you currently have the depth to see.
