Today, I am sharing Romans 12:3 – 8 with you. I chose this passage today, because we are in the Christmas season and so often people today get wrapped up in gifts for the holidays. This passage is about the gifts that God has given us and how we should use them.
Romans 12: 3 - 8
3For by the grace given me I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the measure of faith God has given you. 4Just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, 5so in Christ we who are many form one body, and each member belongs to all the others. 6We have different gifts, according to the grace given us. If a man's gift is prophesying, let him use it in proportion to his[b]faith. 7If it is serving, let him serve; if it is teaching, let him teach; 8if it is encouraging, let him encourage; if it is contributing to the needs of others, let him give generously; if it is leadership, let him govern diligently; if it is showing mercy, let him do it cheerfully.
Stay warm and have a day full of blessings while you share your gifts!
