✨ Those Who Walk With Jesus — Part 25 ✨
Whatever Your Gift Is, Wield It Now in Practice

📝 Their Message (Summary)
God gives every one of His children spiritual gifts—unique strengths meant to bless the Body of Christ and serve His purposes. These gifts aren’t given to compete, compare, or copy, but to be used. Like Father Christmas in Narnia, He equips us not with toys but with tools for the battle—swords, bows, shields, horns, healing cordials—each one different, but each one needed.

Too often, we despise our own gift or wish for another’s. The fiery preacher longs to be gentle. The quiet ministering soul wishes to speak with thunder. But this is vanity and unbelief. To dismiss your gift is to question the Giver. To imitate another is to step outside the calling He gave you.

The invitation is to discover, embrace, and wield the gift God has given you. Whatever your gift—healing, teaching, exhorting, comforting—it is “highly favored.” It is needed for the work of Christ, in this generation, in this battle.

🔥 My Reflection
This convicts me deeply. How many times have I wished for someone else’s strength, envied their clarity, or dismissed my own contribution as “too small”? Yet the truth is: no gift is small in God’s hands.

The image of Lucy from Narnia touches me—she wasn’t Peter the warrior, but she was no less essential. Her healing cordial saved lives after the battle. How often do I overlook the power of mercy, encouragement, or prayer, because I think the “real battle” is elsewhere?

I realize that if I belittle my gift, I am not only rejecting myself—I am rejecting the wisdom of the Giver who chose it for me. To wield my gift with gratitude is an act of faith.

🕊️ The Invitation
Ask the Lord to reveal your gift. Pray:
“Father, show me what You love about me. Show me the gift You placed in me to bless Your people. And give me the courage to use it.”

Then practice it. Don’t wait until it feels “big enough.” Use it today—quietly, faithfully, gratefully. Your name will be called when your gift is needed.

Whatever your gift is—wield it now.

Waking Up Zion --- The Book

-
INTRODUCTION Not a Faith Crisis — A Truth Awakening This isn’t a book about walking away. It’s a book about walking deeper. Deeper into Jesus. Deeper into His voice, His light, and His truth. For years, I loved my faith. I still do. The Church gave me structure. It gave me good people. It taught me to honor prophets and scriptures. To seek the Holy Ghost. To follow Christ. But somewhere along the way, I started asking quiet questions— Not to tear down, but to understand more. Where is the power of the Book of Mormon? Where is the fire of the early Saints? Where is the Jesus who speaks face to face? This book isn’t here to fight the Church. It’s here to reach the hearts of those in it — Especially those who feel something is missing, but don’t yet have words for it. I believe God is still working. But I also believe He is calling many of His children out of comfort and into courage. Out of tradition and into truth. Out of a system and into a personal walk with His Son. If you love the C...

🕊️ About This Blog: The True Remnant The True Remnant isn’t a ministry. It’s not a movement. And no, we’re not taking donations or passing the hat. 😄 It’s just… a witness. A quiet one. Born from fire. Forged in prayer. Offered in love—for anyone starting to  remember. Remember what? That Zion was never supposed to be a brand. That the temple was never supposed to need a swipe card. That Jesus never came to build a corporation—He came to gather the broken, walk with the humble, and call home the lost. If that tugs at something deep in you… You’re in the right place.  🧡 A Note to My Fellow Latter-day Saints If you’re a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (yes, the whole official name 😉) and you’re feeling a little nervous reading this—breathe. This blog isn’t here to tear down your faith. It’s here to deepen it. I haven’t left Jesus Christ. I haven’t left the Restoration. And I haven’t left the Church—at least, not yet. I know some of what I write may f...
