| Use What We Have |

4:10 according as each hath received a gift, ministering it among yourselves, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God; i like this verse....we all have something special we can do that someone else can't....i see it as a grand design to ensure we need each other to complete a circle.....a puzzle isn't whole until you place the last piece....have you worked hard to do a puzzle only to finish with one piece missing? i have learned that being different doesn't mean i'm wrong...rather that i have something they don't...remember the candy commercial in which one person had chocolate and one person had peanut butter? together they made a wonderful new candy, apart they were just what they had...we were not meant to be solitary yet the world says thats better...i think we need each other because that person we don't want to get to know just may have something we need to complete us....when we discover what gifts we have, using them to help others is what i think God meant for us to do as brothers and sisters...and i think in using our gifts to help others we may find just what we need! In fact, this scripture is telling us to do just that! Doing things on our own does not mean we are stronger...it actually means we are weaker.....we used to say in the Marines that our unit was only as strong as our weakest link....so it goes that if we all pitched in and helped our weakest link...it would make our unit stronger...... |
