Some of you are asking the question; “What is my gift?”
and “How can I know what it is?” or
maybe “I am quite sure that I don’t have a gift to use for the LORD.”
Rom 12:4-19
For as in one body we have many members, and the members do not all have
the same function, so we, though many, are one body in Christ, and individually
members one of another. Having gifts that differ according to the grace given to us,
let us use them: if prophecy, in proportion to our faith; if service, in our
serving; the one who teaches, in his teaching; the one who exhorts, in his
exhortation; the one who contributes, in generosity; the one who leads, with
zeal; the one who does acts of mercy, with cheerfulness. Let love be genuine.
Abhor what is evil; hold fast to what is good. Love one another with brotherly
affection. Outdo one another in showing honor. Do not be slothful in zeal, be
fervent in spirit, serve the Lord. Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation,
be constant in prayer. Contribute to the needs of the saints and seek to show
hospitality. Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse them.
Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep. Live in harmony with
one another. Do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly. Never be wise in
your own sight. Repay no one evil for evil, but give thought to do what is
honorable in the sight of all. If possible, so far as it depends on you, live
peaceably with all. Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath
of God,
