“As everyone has received a gift, even so serve one another with it, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.” (1 Peter 4:10 MEV)
REFLECTION
Every precious person is wonderfully unique. They and those around them may not recognise it, for their God given originality may be buried beneath layers of trauma or dismissed behind a mask to protect who they truly are from cutting criticism.
But, regardless of our state or stage, if we turn to our Maker, as we are, and seek to know Him and His ways, we come to know and embrace our uniqueness, within the body of Christ, as we use what we have been given to serve others.
So instead of criticising or comparing, let’s pray for each other and ask God to help us use what we’ve been blessed with to be a blessing.
PRAYER POEM
Loving Lord ~ in Your presence I want to dwell, for only You can my fears quell and enable me to steward what I’ve been given well. Every breath, every effort, every good thing we have is a gift from You. Please empower me to fully embrace every opportunity to serve others and glorify You, deeply aware of Your manifold grace.
