A Blessing to Receive Gifts of the Spirit

You are not only gifted, you're destined to become more gifted. Some treat the gifts of the Spirit like they aren't gifts, like they are rewards, or merit badges, or accomplishments. They ask, what are the steps to receiving the gifts? Must we prod God, or plead our case, or prove ourselves?

Must we sweat it out, or swear up and down, or sweep out the sin? No child of God gifts are gifts. The one thing's required. Receive. Like a toddler with open arms, receive. Receive, little one. Receive the gifts of the Holy Spirit.
