Imagine this, you gave a friend a nice shirt as a gift. You of course wrapped it up in a dainty little package, wrote some dedications and gave it as a birthday present. After a week, you ask your friend, “did you like it?” Your friend said, I don’t know I have no intention of opening it… I can guess how you would feel.
Everyone is gifted. We are all given a gift or gifts. While some people have uncovered theirs and use them to the hilt, some haven’t or hesitate to do so. If you are one of those who hasn’t made a move to discover what is in the package, don’t you realize how disappointing it is to give someone a gift and he won’t open it? Using your gift is a sign of appreciation of the one who gave it to you.
