Romans 12 reminds us that we are not to think of ourselves more highly than we should because we are all one in the body of Christ. That means that, as members of Christ's body, we each have a different responsibility, but we are all one. We love each other. We respect each other. We are not jealous when someone else is promoted. We all work together.
Next, Paul reminds us to use our gifts. We each have gifts and abilities that God has given us. We need to identify and use those gifts. We must identify our gifts and use them for God's glory. We must not bury our talents in false humility.
Lord, help me to be one with everyone else in Your body, the church. Help me to have perfect love as You do. Help me to serve You and others around me for Your glory.
