Using My Gift

Scripture: 1 Peter4: [10] Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering God’s grace in its various forms.

Observation: Am I using all that God has given me to serve others in his name or do I sometimes do things to be recognized myself? The gifts and talents I possess come to me only from God are to be used for God’s purpose not mine. When I do something for someone they should see God’s grace not mine.

Application: Make sure everything that I do glorifies God. That I go out of my way and not only when it’s convenient for me to use the gifts God has given me. When I do something for someone make sure God gets the glory and draw people nearer to Him not me.

Prayer: Dear Father I thank you for all you give me. I deserve nothing, yet you bless me each day. You have given me gifts, show me how to share them with your children and may I always give you the glory and praise.
