Scripture: 1st Peter 4:10-11 (the Message)
Be generous with the different things God gave you, passing them around so all get in on it: if words, let it be God’s words; if help, let it be God’s hearty help. That way, God’s bright presence will be evident in everything through Jesus, and he’ll get all the credit as the One mighty in everything – encores to the end of time. Oh, yes!
Thought for the Day: In the wonderful movie, Forrest Gump, as Forrest’s mother is dying, she says to him, “You have to do the best with what God gave you.” Like a lot of things said in that movie, those words are not terribly profound on the surface, but they demand the attention of our souls. Though we may not always view our gifts as worthy of public attention, there is something of God within those gifts. For that reason, there is enough within every gift to make a difference in the world. It may not have the wow factor some might desire, but when a community of people passes its gifts around, the change will be visible and enduring.
Prayer: Creator God, you continue to create within each person the potential to be the change this world needs. Amen.
