Today's scripture: Ephesians 4:11-13
Each of us is gifted by God to serve Him in a way only we can. And when you
stop to think about it, God’s gifts in us are gifts to us.
God doesn’t need us to do His work. He is more than able to reach people and
care for them without us. In fact, I’m sure there are times when we hamper His
work.
Yet He loves us so much, He allows us to join Him in His kingdom work. He uses
us to serve others, and He gives us the privilege of seeing how that service
impacts them.
What an amazingly wonderful gift!
So some of us evangelize. Some of us preach. Some of us teach. And all of us
equip the saints and build the body of Christ. And though there may be
thousands of preachers, God uses each uniquely. And though there may be
thousands of teachers, God speaks through each differently.
I regularly speak to women’s groups, and I’m far from the best speaker around …
yet, when I speak, God uses me in a way He doesn’t use anyone else. He gives me
a unique style, unique ways of using words. And He touches lives in a unique
way—through me.
How has God gifted you? Do you know? If you don’t, talk to someone you trust,
who knows you well, and ask them what they think. Find a gift assessment tool.
And when you find out how God has uniquely gifted you, join Him in His
kingdom-building plan.
And thank Him for allowing you to be a part of that plan.
