Many yet one

In 1 Cor 12:4, we learn there are different gifts and ministries, yet it is the Spirit of God who does the giving snd the administration of these gifts and ministries.  God works through mankind by the Spirit.  Each person is unique and so is their ministry.  One time there was a person who was very unhappy with what they were doing in the church.  They began to envy the position of another.  This grew into jealousy and over time they withdrew into themselves.  One day the pastor went over to see this person.  He asked why their countenance had soured over the past few months.  When it was revealed that this person had become jealous and envious, the pastor lovingly showed them that the profile of the ministry is not the important factor.  What is important is that you are doing what God wants you to do.  After careful instruction the person began to realize that what they were doing was important.  They repented and everything turned out fine.  Today realize that God will give you a ministry that is unique to your particular gifts and qualities.  Your Bible promises are:  Isaiah 55:7, Matt 6:14-15, Natt 11:25-26, Rom 12:14, Col 3:12-13 and Luke 17:3.  Your Insightful Sayings are:  Lies always die in the face of truth.  Never believe a rumor about anyone until you have talk to the person and verified it or not.
