Getting To Know The Real You

DAY 6 OF 9

Have you ever tried to pick up the remote with your feet? You might get it eventually, but you could have grabbed it faster and with a lot less work if you’d leaned over and used your hands. 

Hands were made for grabbing and feet for balancing, and sure, you can balance on your hands or grip with your toes. But accomplishing a task is easier when each part of the body is doing what it was made to do. 

The same is true in the church. Paul, one of the leaders of the early church, compares church members to parts of a body (1 Corinthians 12:12-13). Though we all worship the same God and have received the same Holy Spirit, we each have different gifts and abilities. 

God gave you a purpose when He made you. The things you’re good at, the things that fire you up, and the experiences you’ve had — none of this is an accident. 

You bring something to the body of Christ that no one else can. The same way that ears let us hear and lungs let us breathe, you bring abilities to the church body that allow it to function with greater ease.  

God designed us to be part of a team. We suffer together and celebrate together because we know we need each other to accomplish the God-sized mission we’ve been given.  

Reflect:

  • Have you ever been part of a team where everyone was good at the same things? How did that work out?
  • What has God made you passionate about? What are some skills that come naturally to you and not so much to your friends?
  • How are you using those gifts and abilities to help accomplish God’s purpose?

About this Plan

Getting To Know The Real You

With so many different people telling us who we are, or who we should be, how do we know who’s right? We think the One who made us should get to define us. Read this plan to discover who God says you are and find your identity in Him.
