Gifts for YOUR glory.

I Peter 4:10-11

Like good stewards of the manifold grace of God, serve one another with whatever gift each of you has received. Whoever speaks must do so as one speaking the very words of God; whoever serves must do so with the strength that God supplies, so that God may be glorified in all things through Jesus Christ. To him belong the glory and the power forever and ever. Amen.

Lord,
it seems to be a lifelong quest:
discerning the gifts
you put in our lives.

And then discerning ways
to put those gifts to work
for your service.

The temptation is
to take the credit
for all the gifts,
all the words,
all the strength...

Remind us always
that all we have is yours;
gifts given to us
to use for YOUR glory.

May it be so
in my life
today.
Amen.
