The Art Of Neighboring: Week TwoSample

As we grow in our knowledge of God and in our fellowship with other believers, we’ll get to know ourselves better, too. And that whole self—with all its unique strengths and abilities—is to be offered in worship to God.

Pray

Creator God, you deserve all my love. Please change me so that I truly love you with all my heart, soul, strength and mind.

Read 

Paul describes the life of a Christian as belonging to God—body, mind, abilities, work.

Romans 12:1-8

Reflect

Look at the abilities that Paul lists here. How many of them benefit others? What gifts has God given you that you could use to his glory and for the good of other people? No matter how seemingly insignificant or mundane, every action can be an act of worship and of love.

Respond

Ask a trusted friend or spiritual leader to help you think about where your abilities could be useful for God’s kingdom.
