We, as a church, tend to talk a lot about the gifts that God has giving us. We take tests to determine what our Spiritual Gifts are. It helps us know where to fit it, where to serve. I'm a teacher not an administrator, I'm a prophet not a greeter. And so we find our niche.
And God certainly did give us unique talents to serve Him in the best ways we can but we often use that as an excuse to stay inside our safe little comfort zone. When Jesus called his disciples He asked them to step out of their comfort zones and try something new. Sure there were skills and abilities that they already possessed but He challenged them to use those in new ways.
What new challenges are we shying away from because they make us uncomfortable and we excuse it by saying they are not a part of our Spiritual Gifts.
