We Grow: A Journey of Drawing Closer to God

DAY 234 OF 365

Day 234 of 365

In 1 Corinthians 14, Paul urges us to eagerly desire spiritual gifts, especially the gift of prophecy, but he emphasizes that love must be our motivation. In Chronicles, we see David’s devotion to God as he prepares materials for building the temple, an act driven by love and reverence. The Holy Spirit grants us unique gifts not for self-glorification but for building up others and pointing to God’s glory. When love guides us, our gifts become expressions of God’s grace rather than a means to elevate ourselves.

The Spirit teaches us that every gift we receive is intended to serve others and strengthen the body of Christ. When we allow love to be the foundation of our pursuit, we find joy and purpose in our spiritual gifts, and they become blessings to those around us. Every word of prophecy, every act of service, reveals God’s heart to those who need Him.

Today, invite the Holy Spirit to help you use your gifts for His purposes. Pray for humility and love to guide you in all that you do, seeking only to glorify God. May your life reflect His love, bringing hope, encouragement, and truth to everyone you meet.
