Storms quote
“Instead of first asking, “What is my gift?”, ask the question, “Who is in
need?” . . . If we would devote ourselves to praying, giving, helping,
teaching, serving, and exhorting those around us, the likelihood greatly
increases that we will walk headlong into our gifting without ever knowing
what happened.”
