We are all body parts in the family of God, which one are u??? (Romans 12:4-6)
I pray we all find ours, it’s a blessing!
Romans 12:6-8, NIV
[6] We have different gifts, according to the grace given us. If a man's gift is prophesying, let him use it in proportion to his faith. [7] If it is serving, let him serve; if it is teaching, let him teach; [8] if it is encouraging, let him encourage; if it is contributing to the needs of others, let him give generously; if it is leadership, let him govern diligently; if it is showing mercy, let him do it cheerfully.

Romans 12:1-8, kjv
[6] Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith; [7] Or ministry, let us wait on our ministering: or he that teacheth, on teaching; [8] Or he that exhorteth, on exhortation: he that giveth, let him do it with simplicity; he that ruleth, with diligence; he that sheweth mercy, with cheerfulness.

A. What are the gifts of God that motivate us?
As u can c here, we ALL have one gift that God gave us.
I have been told it is at birth, we just don’t know it. This is an opinion but one that I do believe.
Some feel it’s a gift given at time of filling of the Holy Spirit, some at the time of acceptance of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Again, my thot is HE is in us b4 we are conceived, hence to me its normal for me to see He has predestined us with a gift and what we r to do in life. Even if we chose not to discover this, I feel it is there.

Note: not all of these will be 100%, but I have seen in time with walking in the Word, more and more come to light for me.
