Serving with Your Spiritual Gifts

Devotional
Each of us has been uniquely gifted by God for a purpose greater than ourselves. These gifts aren't meant to be hidden away or compared to others, but used to serve and build up the body of Christ. Whether your gift is teaching, encouraging, serving, or leading, it has the potential to impact someone's life in ways you might never know. Don't let fear of imperfection hold you back - God works through our willing hearts, not our flawless performance. When we step out in faith to use our gifts, we participate in God's work of transformation in the world.

Bible Verse
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. 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 ability, take the responsibility seriously. And if you have a gift for showing kindness to others, do it gladly. - Romans 12:6-8

Reflection Question
How might God be calling you to use your unique gifts to serve others, even if it feels uncomfortable?

Quote
The gift that God has given you may be the difference between someone's salvation.

Prayer
Dear Lord, thank you for the gifts you've given me. Help me to use them boldly for Your glory, even when I feel inadequate. Show me opportunities to serve others and build Your kingdom. Amen.
