1 Corinthians 12:4-7 
Now there are different gifts, but the same Spirit. There are different ministries, but the same Lord. And there are different activities, but the same God works all of them in each person. A manifestation of the Spirit is given to each person for the common good: (CSB)

Each person is given something to do that shows who God is: Everyone gets in on it, everyone benefits.  (The Message)

Spiritual gifts are God’s idea, given by God’s intention, given to help everyone see how good God is. The focus is on God and his purpose, never on an individual and his or her giftedness.

Just as height, strength, speed, intellect, and other native abilities are unearned characteristics, so are spiritual gifts. The idea of gifting is that there is (a) a Giver and (b) a gift. The focus is on the origin, not the receiver. The focus is on the gift’s purpose, not the gift’s possessor. The purpose is for gift-empowered people to use their gifts to benefit others. 

Gifts can and must be developed. Knowledge is a gift that requires and enjoys the process of learning. New ideas are intriguing to one so gifted. Great ideas pursued for greater understanding produce greater good for everyone. 

What gifts has God given you?
How are you developing them?
How are you deploying them?
How is the Kingdom of God strengthened and expanded by them?

I will use the gifts God gives me to help people see how good he is.
