Pause. Pray. Read. Be still. Write. Pray. Go about your day or turn in for the night.
Read: Romans 12: 5-7
The apostle Paul reminds us that as followers of Christ, we are all part of one body, each with unique gifts and purposes. Our gifts are not for our own glory but for the glory of God and the edification of the body of Christ. Reflect on your unique role and embrace your role as you continue to serve with humility, and use your gifts faithfully, knowing that with other followers of Christ, you will make a powerful impact for God’s kin – dom.
Be Still: Reflect on the creative spirit God has given you. God continues to create in us new ways to share our gifts with others. Listen today for what God might be asking you.
Prayer: Creating God, remind me to pause long enough daily to be aware of all the creative ways you continue to work in my life. Help me to see myself in the mirror as you see me, always looking gently at myself. May I always be reminded that I am not hidden from you, or the creative spirit you’ve given me. Widen my view of myself, open my ears to hear the whispers of your love. Guide my hands, to extend your love and grace to my neighbor so that they, too, will know how loved they are. Amen
