He gave some as apostles, and some as prophets, and some as evangelists, and some as pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of service, to the building up of the body of Christ;
Ephesians 4:11
The way God distributes gifts in His church is wonderful. We don't all have the same abilities. No two people are alike. As we all use those gifts to build up the church, it is wonderful.
No one can rightly boast about their abilities because those abilities are gifts. As such, we should be sure to use those abilities, not for our own gain, but for the good of those around us.
Lord, thank You for the gifts that You've given me. Help me to realize that it's nothing that I've done. Help me to always remember to use my abilities for Your glory and for the good of others. I want to be able to come to the end of my life and be able to say that many people have been blessed by my life. Most importantly, I want to have Your approval on my life and my accomplishments.
