God gives gifts and distributes gifts so that He might receive glory in the universe (Eph. 4:10) through things like: His will accomplished though us, His people ministered to through us and the mere fact that His people are not selfish, but they serve and they are not useless, but they are equipped. Therefore, when we refuse to use our spiritual gifts, the body of Christ suffers and God does not receive the glory He deserves. On a cosmic level, any believer not using his or her gifts is a problem of God-sized proportions.

"I Saw Jesus"
 
        
 
I saw Jesus last week.
He was wearing blue jeans and an old shirt.
He was up at the church building.
He was alone and working hard.
For just a minute he looked a little like one of our members...
 
But it was Jesus,
I could tell by his smile.
 
I saw Jesus last Sunday.
He was teaching a Bible Class.
He didn't talk real loud or use long words,
But you could tell he believed what he said.
For just a minute, he looked like my Sunday School teacher...
 
But it was Jesus,
I could tell by his loving voice.
 
I saw Jesus yesterday.
He was at the hospital visiting a friend who was sick.
They Prayed together quietly.
For just a minute he looked like Brother Jones...
 
But it was Jesus,
I could tell by the tears in his eyes.
 
I saw Jesus this morning.
He was in my kitchen making breakfast and fixing
me a special lunch.
For just a minute he looked like my mom...
 
But it was Jesus,
I could feel the love from his heart.
 
I saw Jesus everywhere.
Taking food to the sick.
Welcoming others to his home.
Being friendly to a newcomer and for just a minute
I think he's someone I know...
 
But it's always Jesus,
I can tell by the way he serves.
 
May someone see Jesus in you today.

"God Will Answer"
 
We search for answers to questions,
When the outlook is not good.
Lot's of time is spent in worry,
And fret more than we should.
 
Small problems can become mountains;
Not knowing what to do
Dark shadows cast over our lives;
We wish we could start anew.
 
We forget our future is in God's hands,
He's always in control.
He knows everything we may need,
As each day starts to unfold.
 
We must depend upon God's grace,
To give the answers we seek.
And if we listen carefully,
To our heart He will speak.
 
God is faithful in His promises,
And His word is true.
All we need to do is seek Him.
Each day He'll see us through.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++
 
Be careful how you live. 
You may be the only Bible some people will ever read.
 
 
Have a Blessed Day
