We
Have Gifts
For by the grace given to me I say to everyone among you not to
think of yourself more highly than you ought to think, but to think with sober
judgment, each according to the measure of faith that God has assigned. For as
in one body we have many members, and not all the members have the same
function, so we, who are many, are one body in Christ, and individually we are
members, one of another. We have gifts that differ according to the grace given
to us: prophesy, in proportion to faith; ministry, in ministering; the teacher,
in teaching; the exhorter, in exhortation; the giver, in generosity; the
leader, in diligence; the compassionate, in cheerfulness.
Romans 12:3-8
We each have a reason for being on earth, and that is to glorify
God. However, we each have a particular strength that God has given us. If we
are smart we will use that gift to glorify God. Some of us think we are better
in things that we are not, and some of us do not realize our true strengths.
Focus on your strength, and use it to God’s glory.
Human beings are the crowning jewel of creation, and we shine
the brightest not when we see our own likeness reflected in others but when
each of us performs the unique functions that God designed us to do.
There are no unimportant members
in the body of Christ.
