I Am Gifted Abundantly And The Gifts Are From God
I love the Psalm. I am especially fond of Psalms 139:15-19
These verses bring me much comfort. With that being said, I am puzzled with its message.
This is how the Word of God operates. The word of God brings much comfort and a feeling that everything is right when everything is right between me and God. Those are very good feeling.

Easy-to-Read Version (ERV)
15 You could see my bones grow as my body took shape, hidden in my mother’s womb. [a]
16 You could see my body grow each passing day. [b]
You listed all my parts, and not one of them was missing.
17 Your thoughts are beyond my understanding. [c]
They cannot be measured!
18 If I could count them, they would be more than all the grains of sand.
But when I finished, I would have just begun. [d]
19 You murderers, get away from me!
God, kill those wicked people—

I am unique
These words confirm to me, my individual value. I am unique and was not made from a mass produced mold. THere is not another person on this earth like me. I was created for a purpose. I am no accident of nature ,. He is saying to me that my existence is no accident.
I do not understand it all. What I know, I know. The rest simply hinges on faith. Never the less, I display one unique emotion, one definite emotion. It makes me happy and at peace to have the knowledge that God is telling me about my uniqueness. He has a reason for me to be here. THat is what he made me for. A particular job. Not your job and not my neighbors job. My job. He made me up to certain specification to complete that job.
I have been given talents
I did not develop these talents on my own. I was given these talents and I am learning how to use and develop them. By His orders, I was given talent. Talent to use for Him and His Kingdom. He expect me to use the talents I have been given. He will be there if I stumble trying to use them. He will catch my fall My whole personality is developed for the use by God for His purpose. I must, I will, I should and I desire fellowship with Him. I want to be in servanthood to Him. That is why I was made. This is the plan for my life as revealed to me. I am about discovering and developing the purpose in it all. It is a relationship between me and Him. I do not know all the details but I see a path that is developing into a plan.
I must have fellowship with Him
That is the point of my life on earth. The purpose I have in life is to have fellowship with God. Period.
I must know Him. I cannot be happy until I do. To know Him is to love Him I cannot help myself in this. This is the way it is. It is the way things are. I have no reason that I can explain to you about this experience. The only thing that I can say is once you do it, you will understand. Maybe not completely, but enough to get you by. He, God, wants me to have fellowship with Him. That is awesome.No one can fully and completely understand the reason behind the personality they have been given? You can only know through experience with Him.
Everything that makes you, you is given to you
II have nothing to be proud of. It was not your plan, your effort, your work. You were gifted, not self made. That is all I can say. Everything that makes you, you is given to you. We cannot know the reason why. All we can say is that it was not by our effort. Something we do know. We know what we have to do with the gifts. They are to be used for His Kingdom.
Give in return
A gift given in return is our trust . Our trust of what we know of Him. Our trust in what plans He has for us. Love, faithful, servant hood trust. The best thing we can do in this world, after knowing all this, is to become a friend of God. Our Faith and our trust with our friend, the heavenly Father proves to me that we are fearfully and wonderfully made!!!
