Have you ever felt like you are right on the edge of something new about to take place? There’s a stiring up inside of you, you know something is about to happen. It’s something related to a special gift that you sense is in you and about to be fully opened for God’s glory.

I didn’t realize until later in life that God not only gives us each unique gifts but He wraps them in a very special way. I find that there are purposeful layers of “wrapping paper” that need be opened at certain times; after certain lessons; and after certain levels of growth. This results in God allowing us to open that gift that will be appreciated unlike ever before.

When you discovered that you had a certain gift, you began to open it based on your timing? However, if honest, you’ve been frustrated because things never seem to move forward or make sense? The challenging question is – Are you tearing off several layers of “wrapping paper” at one time? Not realizing that each layer was purposeful and you need to be in-tune with the direction of the Holy Spirit in order to know when it’s time to ‘peel it off’.

I believe the Holy Spirit has us at a special time, in a special place, for a special purpose. He knows when we will have an earnest revelation as to the full purpose of the gift that He has prepared. Know that God brings into time – what He has determined in destiny. Don’t ever give up on God’s timing to open the gift that God has designed for you.

Let me close with this – an acronym that the Lord has given me – A true gift given by God is:
