Called and gifted

I heard the voice of the Lord saying, ‘Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? And I said, ‘Here am I; send me!’ ~ Isaiah 6:8 (CEB)

The Spirit has given each of us a special way of serving others. ~ 1 Corinthians 12:7 (CEV)

KEY IDEA: All who make themselves available will be able to serve.

Lord,

THANKS: I am grateful for the opportunity to serve. Otherwise my life would be purposeless.

REGRETS: In spite of my desire to serve, I don't jump at all the opportunities that come my way. And then I jump at some things that turn out to be more about me than you or others.

INTERCESSION: I could use some wisdom so that I can discern when you are calling me to service from when I'm just overly eager to  jump into things.

PURPOSE: I want to be of genuine service.

Amen.
