Have you ever tried to do anything that you were not gifted to do?
I am not really a handy man. If there is a household
project, like a plumbing leak or anything mechanical-forget it.
God has not given me "natural" gifts for such things.
There are others who can fix or assemble anything.
It comes naturally to them, and often they love to help others.
They in return may look at your abilities and marvel. It is good
to appreciate the gifts God has given to each of us. These
differences have created a need for one another. God wants
each of us to need one another. The Scriptures describe the Body
of Christ in the same way.
Each person is a member of His Body with gifts and talents
designed to make His Body perform as a multi-talented group, all
playing to the same tune. It is when one member is "out
of tune" or decides he doesn't like his gifts, or decides to
do something he is not designed to do that the orchestra begins to
sound off key.
Imagine if the parts of the human
body decided they didn't want to fulfill their parts any
longer. That body would no longer function effectively
because one or more of its members were not performing the
functions they were designed for.
When one link in
the chain is weakened, the whole chain is susceptible to breaking.
God made it that way so that we could help that weak link. He made
it that way so we would be forced to depend on one another.
Are you being a strong link in the chain of God's Kingdom?
Ask Him if you are fulfilling your role as He designed.
