“As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God’s varied grace…”1 Peter 4:10 ESV

Do you realize you have a special gift from God? You bring something to the body of Christ that no one else can. You may not be aware of this gift from God, but if you are a born again believer, it is there. Ask a friend you trust what they think are your strengths and try to remember the moments throughout your life when you felt you made a difference. Pray that God would open your eyes to the gift He has given you by His Holy Spirit. I guarantee whatever that gift is, you might also run in to your weakness. It seems often the very gift we should be using for God’s people is the point at which Satan tries to attack us with his lies. If you are gifted to sing, he will tell you no one wants to hear it. If you are an encourager, he’ll tell you no one likes you. If you are a teacher, sure enough someone will definitely quit your class. Pray with your family and church body that God would “stir up” the gifts he has given to all of us. Remember what Timothy wrote:
