You Are Gifted: Each member belongs to all the others

The great English poet John Donne once wrote, “No man is an island, entire of itself.” The God who created us would most heartily agree. It was his wonderful plan to give spiritual gifts to each believer with the idea that we would use these gifts to help and serve one another.

The Bible says in Romans 12:4,5, “Just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, so in Christ we who are many form one body, and each member belongs to all the others.”

Here is one of the delightful secrets of God’s ways: serving others satisfies us more than serving ourselves. Do you believe this? Try it and see!
