“A spiritual gift is given to each of us so we can help each other.“

Adam Smith said, “That wisdom which contrived the system of human affections…seems to have judged that the interest of the great society of mankind would best be promoted by directing the principle attention of each individual to that particular portion of it, which was most within the sphere both of his abilities and of his understanding”  What Adam Smith pointed out is that when people who have the skills and passions are assigned to work, then that is when the most can get done.  We have to ask ourselves if we are doing our best to spend the time to be sure that we are matching interests and abilities to the task at hand?

God gives us talents and gifts and we should spend much time and energy in discerning what those are so that we can be the best for God as He calls upon us to serve Him.  And, we each do have gifts to bring to others if we only listen and accept what has been given to us.
