We do not always choose what are gifts are in spirit , yet I have found, if our interests take us in a certain direction because of our desires, we also may be given gifts and abilities in those areas. This I have found out through personal experiences. The test then becomes; how will we use such gifts and abilities. To serve our spiritual Self, or our desires?
To those who have been given: much is required! It is also expressed in the Bible slightly different;
The verse “From everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded; and from the one who has been entrusted with much, much more will be asked” comes from Luke 12:48 where it concerns knowing the Lord’s will for our life.
Darn right! With abilities, come responsibilities.
