In Touch gave a verse, "As each one has received a special gift, employ it in serving one another as good stewardship of the manifold grace of God." (In other words-Use your gift to serve) In my Daily Hope the verse was Luke 6:38, "Give, and you will receive...The way you give to others is the way God will give to you." ( In other words, to reap a great harvest, you must plant generously.)
Putting these two devotionals together, I am to use my gift to plant and to serve. To twist the meaning just a tad, I have gotten my garden planted between the rains and the cool weather. I planted it generously, and I do plant to share (serve others with its product). Now, I am waiting to see the harvest.
I suppose I can twist God's word into anything I please, but, I am sure, God desires that I really seek to delve into His Word to find the true meaning of Scripture. He wants me to find the true gift He has bestowed upon me and to use it to serve and love others.

Maybe planting a small garden is one of my gifts, but I know there are others I need to use in order to serve and to serve generously.
