We all need to take 1 Corinthians 15:10 to heart. -- "But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace to me was not without effect. No, I worked harder than all of them -yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me." Thanks, Leonard.

Without Grace we can't have our gifts to use them through the Holy Spirit! Through my gifts I share God's Grace with others and share His Word!!! I am also blessed through sharing His Word as a layleader helping The Pastor of our Church with His service!!! One good referance I found in the Bible is 1 Corinthians 15:10. This tells what I just told you about. I am SOOO blessed when I am allowed to help in the reading Of God's Word!!! In Christ's Service!!! Leonard!

Our spiritual gifts are given to us by grace, nothing we deserve or earn (Rom. 12:6). So it truly is a privilege and blessing to be able to serve. As you use your gift, may you be "speaking the truth in love" (Eph. 4:15). By His power you will be exhibiting both His grace and truth to others. <em>-- "Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering God's grace in its various forms" (1 Pet. 4:10).</em> Yes, Leonard, praise God for opportunities to serve.
