Who Am I? {Gifted} In Christ {Day 12} #31Days ~ Words of Wisdom for the Weekend

"For by the grace given to me I say to everyone among you not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think with sober judgment, each according to the measure of faith that God has assigned. 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 . . . " (Romans 12:3-6)

"But to each one of us grace was given according to the measure of the gift of Christ . . . He, the very one who descended, is also the one who ascended above all the heavens, in order to fill all things. It was he who gave [spiritual gifts] to equip the saints for the work of ministry, that is, to build up the body of Christ." (Ephesians 4:7,10-12)

"In Christ, you have both a new identity and a new community where you learn more about your new identity as you use your gifts to serve and are served by the gifts of others. Sometimes, Christians shy away from involvement in a local Church because they see faults with the church. Ironically, the fact that they see a lack may indicate that there's a need for them and their gifts. Rather than complaining, it's better to humbly start serving to meet a church's needs and invite others to also help."       ~Mark Driscoll, "Who Do You Think You Are?"
