Today’s Scripture

“God has given me grace to speak a warning about pride. I would ask each of you to be emptied of self-promotion and not create a false image of your importance. Instead, honestly assess your worth by using your God-given faith as the standard of measurement, and then you will see your true value with an appropriate self-esteem. In the human body there are many parts and organs, each with a unique function. And so it is in the body of Christ. For though we are many, we’ve all been mingled into one body in Christ. This means that we are all vitally joined to one another, with each contributing to the others. God’s marvelous grace imparts to each one of us varying gifts and ministries that are uniquely ours. So if God has given you the grace-gift of prophecy, you must activate your gift by using the proportion of faith you have to prophesy. If your grace-gift is serving, then thrive in serving others well. If you have the grace-gift of teaching, then be actively teaching and training others. If you have the grace-gift of encouragement, then use it often to encourage others. If you have the grace-gift of giving to meet the needs of others, then may you prosper in your generosity without any fanfare. If you have the gift of leadership, be passionate about your leadership. And if you have the gift of showing compassion, then flourish in your cheerful display of compassion.”        

Romans 12:3-8

Today’s Thought 

Your gifts and skills are different from anybody else around you; that’s why you’re there… Never underestimate what God is doing in your life… Walk out your grace gift; it’s your purpose in life, and it’s your distinction from those around you.

Today’s Confession

Lord, thank you for making me different and unique…There is no one like me in this world; you created something special within me that only I can do…You direct my path to help me search for and find my purpose to fulfill the calling you have placed on my life.
