Today’s Scripture: 1 Corinthians 12:15 NLT; If the foot says, “I am not a part of the body because I am not a hand,” that does not make it any less a part of the body.
I encourage you to spend some time in 1 Corinthians 12 listening to the Spirit. Paul tells us that EACH of us is given special abilities by the Holy Spirit.
My special ability is not yours and yours is not mine. You and I are special in our own ways. Not only are we special but we are NECESSARY as stated in 12:22: “In fact, some parts of the body that seem weakest and least important are actually the most necessary.” If you believe, the Spirit has given you a gift that is necessary for someone.
Why do we spend so much wasted energy in trying to be someone we are not? God has placed us where we are to give our gifts to others. I pray we ask the Spirit to know our gifts and to live them.
Will you live your part today? Someone needs who you are.
Today’s Prayer: Father God, thank You for creating me just as You have. Help me to know and be the spiritual gift and part of the body You created me to be. Keep evil doubts and insecurities far from me. Help me to be aware of the importance of my part. Help me to see other parts that need me and help me to recognize those who help me. Thank You for Your Body of Christ of which I have a vital part. Use me. Amen
