Armed

God gives each of us different weapons in our battle with the world. Some are armed with the gift of encouragement. Some are armed with the gift of creativity. Some are armed with the gift of listening. Some are armed with the gift of graciousness. Some are armed with resources to invest in His kingdom. Some are armed with the treasure of little children to raise up to serve Him. Some are armed with patience. Some are armed with the gift of comforting that comes only ...with the gift of suffering. Some are armed with the witness that they are waiting confidently for the good that is coming. Some are armed with the beauty of caring for others who are in need of great care and love. Some are armed with a servant's heart that tirelessly works behind the scenes content without a word of recognition. But it takes each of us using our "weapons" in His strength to make Him---and all that He is--visible to a seeking world.
