Chapter 12 is an enlightning chapter….one all of us must read, and, in doing so, realize just how much we can do for God and one another. We are one…..a body with different parts that do different things. We need all our parts to work for us and others. God’s gifts are handed out to all. Use what He gives us. It helps us to be better and encourages others to be Christian.

Now the interesting part is that sometimes takes awhile, years even, to realize we have this wonderful gift. We hear of others doing special things to help people, i.e. laying of hands, and we think, “I can’t do that”…….never thinking of the things we can do, have done, and are able to do……

Some do what we still call miracles…..even in 2013. But most of us are given gifts we don’t give a second thought to……we are good listeners……we give good advice…..we are soft in our mannerisms,
we are patient….we have time to give….we are healthy and able to help those who are not, etc. The reason I use etc, is because the list is endless….Your gifts from God are so special. Look for them in your own life…and use them well.

You are Christ’s body….it says in the Message. You must never forget this…what a wonderful gift, use it……
