Good Stewards

Scripture: 7 We are coming to the end of all things, so be serious and keep your wits about you in order to pray more forcefully. 8 Most of all, love each other steadily and unselfishly, because love makes up for many faults. 9 Show hospitality to each other without complaint. 10 Use whatever gift you’ve received for the good of one another so that you can show yourselves to be good stewards of God’s grace in all its varieties. 11 If you’re called upon to talk, speak as though God put the words in your mouth; if you’re called upon to serve others, serve as though you had the strength of God behind you. In these ways, God may be glorified in all you do through Jesus the Anointed, to whom belongs glory and power, now and forever. Amen. (1 Peter 4:7-11 The Voice) God’s grace is in our lives as Christians, and has many varieties. We are not all the same in our giftings, but we can all be good stewards of the grace we have been given. No comparisons are needed or should be used. We need love for each other, and appreciation of the grace of God in each other. The gifts that we have are to be used to help and encourage others. Thank You, Father, that You chose to grace each of Your children with gifts; gifts that can be used to help others and to bring honor and glory to You. Help me as I more and more understand Your grace in my life and use it for good. AMEN I pray to You, God, because I know that You will answer; that You will bend down and listen. You show me Your unfailing love. Psalm 17
