Scripture:
“Each of you should use whatever gift you have received…”
— 1 Peter 4:10
Reflection:
Many believers hold back from serving because they feel unqualified. They assume God only uses the confident, the trained, or the highly gifted. But Peter is clear: each believer has received a gift.
Spiritual gifts are not rewards for maturity; they are expressions of God’s grace. We are stewards, not owners. God entrusts gifts to us so that others may experience His goodness through our lives.
Often, clarity and confidence come after we step out in obedience. We discover our calling while serving, not before.
Prayer:
Lord, thank You that You have placed gifts in my life. Help me trust You enough to use what You have already given, even when I feel unsure. Amen.
Action Step:
Write down one ability, strength, or experience God may be inviting you to offer in service.
