Today’s reading is Romans 12
“For as in one body we have many members, and the members do not all have the same function, so we, though many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another. Having gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, let us use them: if prophecy, in proportion to our faith; if service, in our serving; the one who teaches, in his teaching; the one who exhorts, in his exhortation; the one who contributes, in generosity; the one who leads, with zeal; the one who does acts of mercy, with cheerfulness.”

‭‭Romans‬ ‭12:4-8‬ ‭ESV‬‬

All,
This stands out because Paul’s says, “Having gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, let us use them”. I think that true joy comes from pursuing where your passion meets God’s purpose. When we find that intersection, we are able to depend fully on God and give our best at the same time. God has a purpose for all of us and we get to experience the fruit of the Spirit in that intersection. CS Lewis said we are closest to God when we live fully in the present. Please pray that we and our friends spend our time today where our passion meets God’s purpose. Please pray for Bridget Hires.
