Wednesday January 17, 1st Corinthians 12:4-5 God's various gifts are handed out everywhere; but they all originate in God's Spirit. God's various ministries are carried out everywhere; but they all originate in God's Spirit. God's various expressions of power are in action everywhere; but God himself is behind it all. Each person is given something to do that shows who God is: Everyone gets in on it, everyone benefits. Have you ever tried to put together a large puzzle and when you get almost the end, you look and look and look, and behold, you are a few pieces short? The picture is nice, you can sort of tell what it is, but, there is something missing. Think of what the family of God would look like of all the pieces were there. Think of the beauty, the grace, the justice that would abound. I don’t think we will ever get that in this world, but, the more we all come forward with the gifts God has given us, the more glorious the picture. The more we honor gifts that are different from ours, the more glorious the picture. The wider our view of the family of God, the more glorious and broad is the landscape in this picture we call life and the greater the blessings to all.
