"Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, let us use them: if prophecy, let us prophesy in proportion to our faith." NKJV
"In his grace, God has given us different gifts for doing certain things well. so if God has given you the ability to prophesy, speak out with as much faith as God has given you." JCB
The verse continues, "If your gift is serving others, serve them well. If you are a teacher, teach well. If your gift is to encourage others, be encouraging. If it is giving, give generously. If God has given you leadership abilities, take the responsibility seriously. And if you have a gift for showing kindness to others, do it gladly."
It's all about confidence, isn't it? Confidence in the truth that in Christ, I, we, can do all things.
...I am not really focused this morning. It's been a tiring and emotional time these last few weeks.
The memorial I shared with you a couple days ago was read at the service yesterday with only a few modifications. I can stand witness that prayers for peace were answered.
I don't really feel like writing this morning either. That's okay. I want to encourage everyone to read the rest of Chapter 12 because I realize that through the love of Jesus everything is possible, and every gift will manifest itself in our lives. AMEN!
