For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.
Ephesians 2:10
Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgement, in accordance with the measure of faith God has given you. Just as each of us has one body with many members and these members do not all have the same function, so in Christ we are many who form one body, and each member belong to all the others. We have different gifts, according to the grace given us.
Romans 12:3-6
God has given us each a role to play therefore do not try to be mirror images of the people around you. Seek Him for who He created you to be and then follow Him with gladness because He uses all types of people. Celebrate the differences of those around you, ask the Lord to bless them. Do not hinder their walk because God created them just the way they are. Lift them up in love, speak what is helpful and true, and work in communion together for the greater good. One gift is not better or worse than another- that is fallen human thinking. God gave each gift according to the plans He has for each person, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope. (Jer 29:11).
Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.
Proverbs 3:5-6
Listen to the song "City on a Hill" by Casting Crowns- that is what I am praying our city will become once again.
