THURSDAY

My daughter Sarah with Mildred in the Dominican Republic

1 Peter 4:10 Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms.

Romans 12:4-6a Just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, so in Christ we who are many form one body, and each member belongs to all the others. We have different gifts, according to the grace given us.


I stopped this video at the 3:30 mark…where the testimony starts. Stories mess with me and I couldn’t get this one off my heart.

Probably because stories like this are aligned with what has been happening in both MY LIFE and the life of FBCG.

First…my daughter is “ALL IN” regarding special needs. Granted she is only nine, but she unconditionally loves students that are unique. She has so much more of God’s eyes than I do when it comes to seeing people! It inspires. It was a no brainer for Sarah to sign up to serve with Special needs kids in the Dominican Republic last March. She is already discovering her God given gifts, talents, and passions. What are we doing to discover and discern what God has given in our lives or the lives of our children? Today consider doing a “spiritual inventory” of what makes you strong and where you feel God’s passion flowing from your life. Where might that be leading you regarding Kingdom Impact?


Then consider reflecting on that same question with one or two close friends to you and share a word of encouragement to them. Fan their passion into flame and be a catalyst in their life. Who knows how God will use YOU to build up ANOTHER and subsequently have that person’s ripple effect reach more for Christ and His Kingdom.

I love that EVERYONE, regardless of age or ability, has the capability of "being Christ" to others! So encouraging that we all have much to give
