Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, let us use them: 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 12:6 & 8

I’ve heard this saying many times in my life….”if you are going to do something, do it right”. If you’ve ever done something well, you know it took a lot of energy and required you to focus on it the whole time, never wavering in your pursuit of successful completion. Looking back over my career, there have been projects I’ve completed that inspired me and developed a passion for seeing the finished product.

Today’s passage encourages us as Christians, if God has given you certain gifts, then you are to use them to your fullest. Knowing your gifts is key to using them in your everyday life to serve God in little ways. Sometimes God will call you to do great and might things with your talents. Oftentimes those assignments are physically, mentally and spiritually greater than you can do on your own. God intended for it to be that way, because He knows with your passion and His strength, “I can do ALL things THROUGH Christ who strengthens me” Philippians 4:13

What has God called you to do for Him? It might be simply inviting your neighbor or co-worker to church, help a family member with a specific need, being a light in a dark place in your little world…the list is endless, but God can accomplish much if you are willing to use your gifts to serve Him! And serve Him well, because He did something awesome, for you, through Jesus Christ sacrifice! Give your all to God and you will see His great and mighty hand help you accomplish much for His kingdom! Have a blessed day friend…go serve Him with passion and joyfulness!
