We Are Christ’s Body¹

May13

But to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good.
But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually just as He wills.
1 Corinthians 12:7, 11 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/1co.12:7-11.NASB1995

We can take no credit for the gift God gives us to serve others, for it is His Spirit in us, His gift in us, that enables us to serve others. By our surrender and His Spirit working through us for His purpose, to His glory, we have the privilege to participate together in His purpose, plan and glory. What an awesome gift and journey walking and working together under the authority of our Lord!

🙏 Father, I pray that you would lead us to participate alongside other believers in our churches for the purpose of building one another up to good works. I pray we would encourage one other to share the gospel in our communities and through it all, bring glory and honor to Your name. I pray for Your purpose to be fulfilled through us. Amen.
