CREATED UNIQUE

Abba, Jesus and Holy Spirit created us unique. Unique that He created us different from each other. Uniqueness in our personalities, gifts,talents,skills and features. Sometimes we tend to compare ourselves to what others can do and the things that we cannot do. Let us all be reminded of what Apostle Paul wrote:

"Just as a body, though one, has many parts, but all its many parts form one body, so it is with Christ. For we were all baptized by one Spirit so as to form one body—whether Jews or Gentiles, slave or free—and we were all given the one Spirit to drink.Even so the body is not made up of one part but of many." - 1 Corinthians 12:12-14 NIV

The 'body' that Apostle Paul pertains to is the Body of Christ or the Church and the 'parts of the body' refers to us believers. We believers are blessed with different gifts(skills,talents,personalities and features).God gave us these gifts for us to use in glorifying Him and edifying His Church. But how can we glorify Him and edify the Church using these gifts? We can glorify God and edify His Church when we use these gifts in our everyday lives.For example, When we use our voices to worship Him,in that manner, we are already glorifying God.We can also edify His church when we,for example use our gift of encouragement to uplift our brothers and sisters who need encouraging words,again, by that action we are already edifying the Church. We appreciate our uniqueness and thank God refraining from highlighting our deficiencies in comparison with others.

There are many ways to glorify God and edify His Church. Our challnge is to embark on discovering our gifts and talents and use them for God's purpose. 

Let us honor Abba, Jesus and Holy Spirit with our gifts and talents!
