But each has a particular gift from God, one having one kind and another a different kind
1 Corinthians 7:7b

Everyone has a gift given by God, unique to them, for the glorifying of God and the building up of God's kingdom.

Do you believe this to be true?

Do you know your gift? How have you come to know it?
If you do not, where might you seek the help of others to help you discern it?

How is God's gift made visible in your life?

Most holy and gracious God,

you have made us all in your image 

and gifted us with purpose:

to glorify you, to build up your kingdom,

to embody your love.

May we seek to know this gift,

and with the help of others 

live it out more deeply and honestly 

in our lives.

Amen.
