How differently would New Life function if we ALL knew our gifting God graced us with and then we served each other from a humble position of that gifting? This is what Paul is challenging us as a church to live out together, take note of what's jumping out to you through this passage, what will you do with what The Holy Spirit is prompting you with?

“For by the grace given me I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the faith God has distributed to each of you. For just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, so in Christ we, though many, form one body, and each member belongs to all the others. We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us. If your gift is prophesying, then prophesy in accordance with your faith; if it is serving, then serve; if it is teaching, then teach; 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 ‭12‬:‭3‬-‭8‬ ‭NIV‬‬

My prayer is this passage is convicting for each one of us. Conviction is from the Holy Spirit, it's hopeful, pointing us to be more like Christ!

The two verses that stood out to me were 4-5:
“For just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, so in Christ we, though many, form one body, and each member belongs to all the others.” ‭‭

Each one of us, children of the most high God, have been designed/created for special things! When we choose to be obedient to God, listen to the Holy Spirit we are able to function together with our giftings!!!

This is worship onto the Lord, when we come together with our giftings and work together for His glory!!! No boasting of oneself but boasting of our Lord!!!
