“All Scripture is inspired by
God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in
righteousness, that the man of God may be adequate equipped for every good
work.
“I solemnly charge you in the
presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead,
and by His appearing and His kingdom:
preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke,
exhort, with great patience and instruction.” II Timothy 3:16-42
“I
do not feel it is appropriate to ask someone, ‘What is your spiritual gift?’,
but we should be asking, ‘What are you doing to serve the Lord Jesus Christ?’*.
Look
around today and all this week for opportunities to serve where you are and He
will supply your needs according to His riches in glory!
Take
care with love, especially His! Your
servant and friend in Christ, Darlene
