each with his own strengths and weaknesses and propensities and idiosyncrasies.... beneath the DNA level, God made you YOU.
He gave every person gifts. And I believe that He gave those gifts to be used for His purpose...
When you combine those gifts with life experience, you have a ministry...
so, if it were a mathematical formula (I know, very rich indeed coming from such a math mind :-) ! hehehe), it might look like this:
GIFT + LIFE EXPERIENCE = MINISTRY
As an example, if God gifted you with a special measure of compassion and a soft heart... AND you have suffered through the horrible pain of losing someone close to you, your ministry can be comforting those who suffer through loss...
Whatever your gifts, always wake up remembering that they were given by a merciful God... and always remember to use them to show His Son to others!
You will be blessed!
