In his grace, God has given us different gifts for doing certain things well. So if God has given you the ability to prophesy, speak out with as much faith as God has given you. If your gift is serving others, serve them well. If you are a teacher, teach well. If your gift is to encourage others, be encouraging. If it is giving, give generously. If God has given you leadership ability, take the responsibility seriously. And if you have a gift for showing kindness to others, do it gladly.
- Romans 12:6-8

Lord, empower me to use Your gifts with diligence, generosity, and genuine joy. Wean me from half-hearted service, and cultivate in me a wholehearted devotion to the work You have placed in my hands.
