BE FAITHFUL STEWARDS OF GOD'S GRACE

"Grace is God acting in our lives to do what we cannot do on our own; it goes beyond unmerited favor." Dallas Willard

PRAY:  Dear Lord, I thank You for the gifts that You've given me. I want to use those gifts to serve others, as a faithful steward of Your grace. I also want to remember that people who have other gifts are also stewards of Your grace, just in different forms. Would You help me to grow in the grace and knowledge that You've given me so that I can use my gifts to make an eternal difference in our world, and give You all the glory, both now and forever. Amen

REFLECT:  Have you ever thought of yourself as a steward of God's grace? That sounds like an awesome responsibility, but if you know that God has specifically given you spiritual gifts and talents that He wants you to use to glorify Him, then you can joyfully serve others and grow in the grace and knowledge of Jesus, all at the same time. Wow! To Him be the glory both now and forever!

ACT:  Do you know what your gifts are that God has given you? If you want to be a steward of grace in our world, you have to know your spiritual gifts. Right now, write down your spiritual gifts so that you remember them and consciously use them to serve others. If you don't know what they are, you should go to your pastor, small group leader or go on-line and find a spiritual gifts test that can help you discover your gifts. Don't miss out on serving other people and growing in the grace and knowledge of Jesus.
