Is this a title?

A couple weeks ago, my pastor talked about at church how each and everyone of us have a spiritual gift. Some may not know what it is, others are aware of it but don't really use it, and some use it all the time! It was at that service that I realized what my spiritual gift was, and that was the gift of encouragement!

I remember back in middle school, a ton of my friends told me I should be some sort of psychologist when I grew up, because I always had advice. Not to mention, I always made myself available whenever a friend was in need. Ever since then, my gift for being there for people has only grown. I think I have a care factor. What I mean is, caring is natural for me. I care about all my friends, and even people I don't know too well, if they're hurting in any way, I almost feel a little bit of pain too.

Back in Highschool, I remember my Choir director saying "Where ever you are, be there." And ever since then, It always pops in my head. Especially when someone I know is in need. Then this passage came around, and I realized what my spiritual gift was! Listening, and Encouraging. This world is extremely hard to go through alone, and I learned after trying for years on doing it myself, that we really can't do this ourselves. There is a God who loves us, so you're never really alone, but He also made the idea of prayer and fellowship, so that we can walk through this life together. When it comes to being there for my friends, I usually promise to always make myself available to them, because it's my spiritual gift, and I would feel terrible not putting it to use.


Lastly, I made a promise to someone, and in hope that they see this, I refuse to break it.
