I am special.. When u have children, no matter how bad they are, they can't be replaced. And that's exactly how God feels about us. God gave us a variety of gifts to show us all of the different gifts Jesus had while on Earth. So when we work in our gift, it as if Jesus was here doing it today. Everyone working in their gift together is part of the ONE body in Christ. Each of us have our own function, under one God.

1 Cor 12 : 5 states this. Mark 10 45 states that Jesus gift was to serve, not to be served too. Such as we should be too. We shouldn't need to be worshiped just bc we are gifted, we are gifted to serve, and to serve the Word to others. Jesus cleaned feet before dinner, if Jesus would knell down and humble himself to serve and clean someones feet, then who are we to say we are tooo good to do anything for the Body of Christ. God is gifting us to serve. Not for people to bow down to us. God will give us a gift, and then show us where and how to use it. We don't get left trying to figure it out.

1 Cor 12 : 6 says that God will give us the results of ur gift. God will bring the people to u that need to be served by ur gift. Knowing this takes us out the equation, all we have to do is study to show ourselves approved. When u work in your gift, when other people in the body of Christ see you serving, it will stir up in them and help them serve and work in there gift. Ur gift might be serving, seeing u serve might make someone who has a gift of mercy to start using their gift.. And so on. When u have a gift, its hard to keep it too urself.
