God gave me gifts to use for others.

A Bible affirmation for purpose, rooted in 1 Peter 4:10.

As good stewards of the manifold grace of God, each of you should use whatever gift he has received to serve one another.

1 Peter 4:10 · BSB

Reflection

Peter says each believer has received a gift, and calls you a steward of God's grace. Your gifts aren't trophies to display. They're tools for serving the people around you.

A prayer

God, show me how to use my gifts to serve someone today.
