God is completely involved in the giving, using, and empowering of gifts. Specific gifts, places of service, and activities vary, but they all have their effects when they build up the body of Christ - the church. God creates unique place in the body for every believer. Gifts and ministries may overlap, but each believer has a specialized, God - designed role. Part of the exciting adventure of following Christ involves discovering one's service contribution and then making it available to God. Make serving God and his people your motive as you utilize your gifts.
