In the Accept or Decline Series Part 2 entitled "Gifted", we’re reminded that every follower of Jesus has been uniquely gifted by God and intentionally placed within the body of Christ for a purpose.

It can be easy to fall into the trap of inferiority, believing our contribution isn’t important, or independence, believing we don’t need what others bring. But Scripture shows us something different: we each have gifts, we each have a part to play, and every part matters.

God didn’t make us different so we could compare; He made us different so we could contribute. When each of us accepts the gifts God has given us and faithfully plays our part, the whole body of Christ is strengthened.
