Today is Thursday May 31st 2012 As I sit here today I am excited about a great book that I am reading. I have been mentoring and discipling children for awhile, and the question they have asked me, " I want to know my spiritual gift." I searched for awhile, and then there it was on CBD site. Discover Your Kid's Spiritual Gifts by Adam Stadtmiller. As I am reading this I am so excited, because I found someone who has the same heart, and is really passionate as I am. There are so many things I could say, but I am going to just write down some of the passages from the book. A Journey into Your Child's Unique Identity in Christ God loves to work through His people, no matter what age, season or stage of life they are currently walking through. Scripture tells us that the same power that raised Christ from the dead is available to us, at work in us. Do we believe that our children have a lesser version of that same power? Or will we lay hold of the very real opportunity to train our children to walk in their spiritual gifts so they might see God's power activated in their lives? Of the young people who stay committed to their spiritual roots, these are the two common denominators: they were taught the word of God in their growing up years, and they were given opportunities to serve others by using their spiritual gifts. We decided that ONLY certain elements of a full life in Christ are available to our kids. This is definitely true in regard to spiritual gifts in kids. At some point someone put up a spiritual height chart, and generations of Christian kids have been missing out on the ride of their lives ever since! Our spiritual gifts are like a thrill ride of faith. When we walk in our spiritual gifts we get our hands and feet dirty for Jesus, and we start to look and act like the Christians of the Bible. There's so much more to share, so I will continue on another day.
