Gifted to Strengthen the Body

The church is like an orchestra playing the symphony of gospel music composed by Jesus and conducted by the Spirit.  And each person plays an incredibly significant and unique part.  Our giftedness is actually a means of grace and power to strengthen and mature the church.  So, to not embrace our uniqueness and to not embrace and serve the church intentionally is to actually withhold the grace and power of God from his people.  We each have a role to play.  The absence of you is a loss for the church and its mission.
