Got A Gift? by Anonymous
Ephesians 4:11-12 The gifts he gave were that some would be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, some pastors and teachers, to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ.
Does it sometimes seem others have more skills than you do? That you're not sure what you can contribute? That's when we all need to think about this scripture, to realize God has plans for each of us. He has given us talents no one else has. Can you lead or are you a follower? Can you speak or are you a good listener?
Nothing would get done if everyone was good at the same thing. Many skills are needed to accomplish the mission of the church. It's important for each of us to decide what we like to do, what interests us, because that's what we will do well.
So remember, God has given each of us gifts to be shared for the good of His community. He expects us to use what we have been given.
God, show me how I can use my gifts for your service. Amen
