* 4Just as our bodies have many parts and each part has a special function,5so it is with Christ’s body. We are many parts of one body, and we all belong to each other.
6In his grace, God has given us different gifts for doing certain things well. So if God has given you the ability to prophesy, speak out with as much faith as God has given you. 7If your gift is serving others, serve them well. If you are a teacher, teach well. 8If your gift is to encourage others, be encouraging. If it is giving, give generously. If God has given you leadership ability, take the responsibility seriously. And if you have a gift for showing kindness to others, do it gladly.
We can't be all things to all people...and it was meant to be that way so we lean on each other, borrow from others what we do not posses and lend to them that need what you have been given. The Spiritual Gifts that God has given us need to be cultivated, not hidden, but used to the best of your ability,
"Hide it under a bushel No! I'm gonna let it shine"
Be proud of your gifts and spread them around for all to benefit. Use your Spiritual Gifts to help one another. What have we done with the Grace assigned to us by God? Have we obeyed and followed through with responsibility and pressed on even when trials made it difficult?
2 Timothy 4:7 7
I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.
His master said to him, "Well done, good and faithful slave; you were faithful with a few things, I will put you in charge of many things, enter into the joy of your master." (NASB) Matthew 25:21 and 23
Thank you Lord, for the gifts I have been given, help me to use them according to your purpose, and join in with others to make us one body through you, in Christ Jesus I ask. Amen
