“For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.”
-Ephesians 2:10
We weren’t just saved by grace from sin, death, and hell. We were saved by grace for God’s glory.
God created us in our mother’s womb with a purpose for us (Psalm 139:13-16). We are His craftsmanship, His artistry, and His masterpiece. God made us to be more than just recipients of His love, He made us to be a display of His goodness and grace through our actions and words.
God didn’t give us gifts for us. He gave us these gifts for Him! Our gifts are given to us by God in order to serve those around us.
Take inventory of your life, and prayerfully consider all the things God has given you to steward: your gifts, talents, influence, power and resources. You are meant to serve others with these.
Here’s a little prayer to help us to use our gifts for more…
Dear Lord, please remind us that the purpose of your gifts to us is to give You glory and to serve others. Please help us to use our gifts to point people to You.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
