Open The Gift

In all the years I've been around kids, I've never had to force them to open a gift.  For some reason they know how to open a gift without anyone even showing them how.  They love to rip through the paper and get to what's inside (even though they don't care about the gift in 10 minutes).

So what's wrong with adults?  The Holy Spirit is a generous gift giver but for some reason we aren't too excited to open the gifts and receive them. (1 Cor. 12, Romans 12, Eph. 4, 1 Peter 4)  These gifts won't lose their usefulness in a few minutes, days, or years.  These are gifts that you could use the rest of your lives.

So let me challenge you, what are you waiting for?  Why aren't you using the gifts the Holy Spirit's given you?  There's no better day than today to open the gifts and use them in your life.
