Coffee?

If you are a serious coffee drinker, then you understand the importance of all the details being just right.  The right brand of coffee.  The right kind of creamer.  The right temperature.  And even the right mug.  I have four different brands of coffee in my cabinet right now plus 3 different creamers in the fridge and a powdered creamer in the cabinet all from when my six sisters visited me.  Everybody's cup of coffee had to be just right in order for them to enjoy it.  No two were the same, yet each cup met a different need perfectly.  It's amazing how one persons idea of "just right" is so much different than another person's idea.  

That reminds me of how God gave each of us very special and unique gifts and talents according to what He purposed us to do AND who He intended us to touch with those gifts.  Like a perfect cup of coffee, no two of us are the same.  We may have things in common, but God has poured very unique gifts into each of us.  We each experience Christ in a different way just as those who come in contact with us can experience Him through us in a different way.  Maybe, just maybe, God wants us to use our unique gifts in someone's life  who will experience Christ through you in a way that only you can share Him.  Maybe you're someone's perfect cup of coffee once you stir up your gifts.  

Maybe you share Christ through song - a perfect cup for someone who connects with God through music.  Maybe you share Christ through service - a perfect cup for someone who needs to know they matter.  Maybe you will share Christ though humor - a perfect cup for someone who needs to be uplifted.  

No matter how different our gifts and how we share Christ, it's the perfect cup for someone who experiences Him just the way you allow Him to be poured out through you.  So stir up the gifts that have been poured into you and be someone's perfect cup of coffee today!

Stir up the gifts of God! 2 Timothy 1:6
