For by the grace given me I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the measure of faith God has given you. Just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, so in Christ we who are many form one body, and each member belongs to all the others. We have different gifts, according to the grace given us. If a man's gift is prophesying, let him use it in proportion to his faith. If it is serving, let him serve; if it is teaching, let him teach; if it is encouraging, let him encourage; if it is contributing to the needs of others, let him give generously; if it is leadership, let him govern diligently; if it is showing mercy, let him do it cheerfully. Romans 12:3-8 (NIV)Each of us has certain talents and abilities that just come natural to us—we are born with them. Just as that is true in the physical realm, it is also true in the spiritual realm; when we are “born again” into the body of Christ, we are gifted with certain talents and abilities to further the work of Christ.
What’s your gift? If you haven’t already realized what gift you’ve been given, I challenge you today to pray about it earnestly and ask God to help you realize what your gift is and ask Him to enable you to use that which you’ve been given to its full potential for His purpose; for His honor; for His glory.
To God alone be the glory. Amen.
God Bless!
