There is a competition for that treasure inside of you. Who is winning the battle? Are you keeping your gift just to yourself? Are you afraid to share because someone may take your place or prove you not necessary? Are you avoiding the use of your gift so that you can fit in and not stick out among your peers? If any of this sounds familiar, the right side may not winning.
With the gift that God has given you, no one can do it like you. Yes there may be other people doing what you are but you have something unique to bring to the table but you will never know what it is if you don't use your gift. No one else's gift will take your place. God made you and your gift and it is needed. There are people hurting, hungering, needing the voice that you have, needing you to use what God has given you.
Step out and be what God has called you to be. It may not be anything more than you saying yes to God. Stepping out doesn't mean that you are going to instantly be on blast. By stepping out and becoming a yielded vessel, you give God room to move and make you. You will come out of your comfort zone for sure but if you move in God, you will be out of your comfort zone but not from under your covering.
Which side is winning the battle for your treasure?

I appreciate this post. I have been feeling like God is nudging me in a direction to use my "gifts" to bring glory to Him. What an encouragement.
I am thankful to God that it was encouraging! This is one that truly falls under, it is first for the messenger!!
