Use your gifts

Paul begins with sober judgment and places different gifts within one body. Service, teaching, encouragement, giving, leading, and mercy each have a place. Your contribution is neither everything nor nothing. Discover where you can serve faithfully in connection with other believers rather than comparing yourself with them.

Put the Word into practice

Ask a mature believer where your service has helped others and choose one place to contribute.

Father, give me humility and faithfulness in the gifts You have entrusted to me. Amen.
