Doing Our Part

In order for a society or organization to function properly, each of us has to do our part.  Every one of us is gifted in some way and when these gifts are combined in a cooperative relationship, "every part does its share: (Eph. 4:16) and the separate parts make up the whole (Romans 12:5)  We need each other!  Pray this coming year that God will continue to guide us all:

We give you most heart thanks, O Living God, for the gifts you have given each one of us.  Give us also the spiritual insight to recognize the gifts as coming from you, and also the resolve to use them for the benefit of the whole.  Some of us might feel we are not gifted; reveal the truth that even the most gifted persons in the world cannot perform their part in the whole scheme of things, without the support and help from hundreds - even thousands - of us whose gifts seem less important and yet are vital for life to be rich and full.  Help us to recognize that in your sight, every gift you bestow is equally important.  In Jesus Name, we pray.  Amen.
