For as we have many members in one body, but all the members do not have the same function. Romans 12:4 (NKJV)<\/em><\/p>\n

I sometimes compare myself with friends in an unfavorable light. I wish I had the talent to knit like Marie does. Why don\u2019t I enjoy cleaning as much as Betty?<\/em> If I\u2019m not careful, I may covet someone else\u2019s talents.<\/p>\n

And then I consider heroes who inspire me, but I\u2019m not jealous of them: humanitarian Mother Teresa<\/a>, author and speaker Helen Keller, and civil rights leader Reverend Doctor Martin Luther King Jr.<\/a>, a minister who used his gifts of leadership and speech to lift up the downtrodden.<\/p>\n

Dr. King received his bachelor\u2019s degree in sociology at age nineteen and his doctorate at age twenty-six. He could\u2019ve chosen a prestigious career. Instead, he followed God\u2019s call to engage the powerful weapons of prayer, words of reconciliation, and peaceful demonstrations. King brought light into the darkness for millions. He changed the world.<\/p>\n

I may never implement the changes made by Dr. King. Yet Jesus calls me to make a positive difference with the gifts He\u2019s given me. I can use my talent of communication to help change a heart from despair to hope. I can employ my flair for humor to help a timid person feel at ease.<\/p>\n

Dr. King said it best himself: \u201cEverybody can be great . . . because anybody can serve. You don\u2019t have to have a college degree to serve. You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love.\u201d<\/p>\n

Like Dr. King, all of us have been given the opportunity to serve in our own unique ways\u2014ways that will change the world.<\/p>\n

Faith Step:<\/strong> Ask Jesus to help you utilize your special gifts to make a positive difference in someone\u2019s life and the world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
