Your Gift as aburden
Even God-given gifts can feel heavy under pressure. The burden lifts when you realign your creativity with God’s heart, not people’s expectations.
When Your Gift Feels Like a Burden
Scripture — Proverbs 18:16
“A gift opens the way…”
Devotional
There comes a point when the very thing God gave you — your creativity —
starts to feel like a burden.
Why?
Because the gift was never meant to sustain itself.
It needs surrender and refreshment.
See how this ties to Week 2’s devotional “Purpose Requires Surrender” — https://thewordandprayers.com/purpose-requires-surrender-embracing-gods-will/when you release your gift back to God, it becomes light again.
