Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good.
1 Corinthians 12:7
One of the coolest truths about being a Christ follower is that once you have believed in Jesus and committed to follow Him with the way that you live your life; He will by His Spirit create in you a Spiritual gift that is unique and personal to your own purpose and that is to be used to minister to the world around you. You see, every believer is a minister and every believer is equipped for service to play his/her part in building the church up through loving God and loving people. Christianity is not just about soaking up all that God has to offer in order that you can live in some kind of spiritual vacuum that is all about you, no; Christianity is about letting the Spirit of God restore and transform your heart into a deeper relationship with Him in order that His love and power may be reflected to the world around you. It is a very deep mystery indeed that it is only in giving away the gifts and blessings of God that Jesus becomes more relevant in your life and your purpose for living becomes even clearer and incredibly fulfilling. I believe that it is that very gift of God’s Spirit that has enabled me to write these daily devotions each week day morning for the past 3 years now and each week I am humbled and in awe of how great our God is and how much He loves us and wants to use us to help encourage, inspire and challenge His people to live their lives for Him. What is your gift? Are you giving it away in order that others may be blessed and may share in your story and purpose? I would challenge you today to be intentional about your faith and start living your life for God!
