Ministries
There are many beautiful talents that God invests in each one of us. Whether we are given the ability to teach, to sing, to serve, to manage money, to make people feel loved, or to minister in some other way, these are gifts meant to be offered back to God in His Church for our own salvation and the salvation of others.
“If the foot should say, ‘Because I am not a hand, I am not of the body,’ is it therefore not of the body? And if the ear should say, ‘Because I am not an eye, I am not of the body,’ is it therefore not of the body? If the whole body were an eye, where would be the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where would be the smelling? But now God has set the members, each one of them, in the body just as He pleased. And if they were all one member, where would the body be?But now indeed there are many members, yet one body.”
– 1 Corinthians 12:15-20
