Still wondering what on earth are you hear for? Well, it really isn&#8217;t a mystery. 1 Corinthians sheds some light on your significance. \u00a0There isn&#8217;t a need for Rick Warren to put out yet another study on our search for significance. \u00a0We have been gifted and we are to use the gifts to teach, edify, strengthen, encourage, guide, and heal. Instantly, upon accepting Christ we are grafted into the body of Christ. Instantly, upon accepting Christ we have been given significance. Instantly, upon accepting Christ we have been portioned the same manifestation of the Spirit as Jesus. In John 16 Jesus tells his disciples it is better that he goes away so he can send the Holy Spirit. \u00a0We not only receive the Holy Spirit, instantly upon accepting Christ, but instantly we also receive gifts from the Holy Spirit. \u00a0Those gifts are to be used. \u00a0Those gifts give us significance. \u00a0A butterfly understands it is not a caterpiller anymore and utilizes its gift of flight to pollinate. \u00a0Its life is no longer about crawling and consuming for itself. We would be wise to take a lesson from the butterfly and start pollinating.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1 Corinthians 12:7-11 &#8220;7 To each is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good.\u00a08\u00a0For to one is given through the Spirit the utterance of\u00a0wisdom, and to another the utterance of\u00a0knowledge according to the same Spirit,\u00a09\u00a0to another\u00a0faith by the same Spirit, to another\u00a0gifts of healing by the one Spirit,\u00a010\u00a0to another\u00a0the working of miracles, &hellip; <\/p>\n<p class=\"link-more\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.burningchaff.com\/?p=160\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &#8220;Gifted&#8221;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":821772,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[47],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-160","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-daily-musings"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.burningchaff.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/160","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.burningchaff.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.burningchaff.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.burningchaff.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/821772"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.burningchaff.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=160"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.burningchaff.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/160\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":164,"href":"https:\/\/www.burningchaff.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/160\/revisions\/164"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.burningchaff.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=160"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.burningchaff.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=160"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.burningchaff.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=160"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
