"The Spirit has given each of us a special way of serving others." I Corinthians 3:7 (CEV)

"You have one. A divine spark. An uncommon call to an uncommon life... So much for the excuse "I don't have anything to offer." Did the apostle say, "The Spirit has given some of us..."? Or, "The Spirit has given a few of us..."? No. "The Spirit has given each of us a special way of serving others." Enough of this self-deprecating "I can't do anything."

And enough of it's arrogant opposite: "I have to do everything." No, you don't! You're not God's solution to society, but a solution in society. Imitate Paul, who said, "Our goal is to stay within the boundaries of God's plan for us" (2 Cor 10:13 NLT). Clarify your contribution.

Don't worry about the skills you don't have. Don't covet the strengths others do have. Just extract your uniqueness."
