The opening of the movie Encanto is a song called "The Family Madrigal." In the song, Mirabel tells village children about her family. See the Madrigal family is special because most of them have a special power.
These powers include healing, strength, the ability to
talk to animals, control of the weather, and more. Each member of the family
with powers has a job that helps the village thrive. And the village people are
grateful for what this family does for them.
You may not have a special power like this family, but
you do have a gift. Romans 12:6 talks about how we have spiritual gifts. It
says: "We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each
of us. If your gift is prophesying, then prophesy in accordance with
your faith." God created us all unique and gave us each a different
mission field. He gives us gifts to use for that mission and to reflect his
glory.
Think about it: you are so special to God that he gave
you the opportunity to be a part of His story. He gave you unique gifts and a
unique mission. Without you, someone may not be blessed. That's not to say that
God will not bless that person if you choose not to use your gifts. But it is
to say you have been given the opportunity. You are an important part of the
body of Christ. You are unique. You are loved. It is amazing to think about.
So, what are your gifts? Are you using them to reflect
God's glory?
