GIFTED: You are a gifted member of Christ's body - Romans 12:4

For 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, though many, form one body, and each member belongs to all the others. We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us. If your gift is prophesying, then prophesy in accordance with your faith; if it is serving, then serve; if it is teaching, then teach; if it is to encourage, then give encouragement; if it is giving, then give generously; if it is to lead, do it diligently; if it is to show mercy, do it cheerfully. Romans 12:4-8 NIV

Eternal Truth: "The eye cannot say to the hand, “I don’t need you!” And the head cannot say to the feet, “I don’t need you!” On the contrary, those parts of the body that seem to be weaker are indispensable, and the parts that we think are less honorable we treat with special honor. And the parts that are unpresentable are treated with special modesty, while our presentable parts need no special treatment. But God has put the body together, giving greater honor to the parts that lacked it, so that there should be no division in the body, but that its parts should have equal concern for each other. If one part suffers, every part suffers with it; if one part is honored, every part rejoices with it." 1 Corinthians 12:21-26

Praise & Prayer
"Every gift, talent, and accomplishment that I achieve is because of Your grace upon my life, Christ Jesus. I praise You, Abba Father, for blessing me with the gifts of serving, encouraging, giving, and leading. Please help me, Holy Spirit, to cheerfully pour out to others by using my gifts. Grant me opportunities this day to serve, give, edify, or encourage fellow members in the body of Christ. I pray in the mighty name of  Jesus, my LORD.
