b'What if I told you that you have the power to change and inspire the world? God gave us all unique gifts to glorify Him in our own way. He made you the way you are for a reason, and if you allow Him to mold you, He can bring forth something truly wonderful from your life. You\\u2019re never too young to inspire others either; personally, I was just fourteen when I discovered I loved to write, and I\\u2019ve been using this passion to inspire and uplift others ever since.\\nAny talent you have can be used to glorify God. Think about it\\u2014Jesus\\u2019 disciples worked as fishermen and tax collectors. In Acts, we hear about Christians who made leather or sold cloth. King David wrote and made music as a hobby, and his writings are now included in the book of Psalms. These songs and poemsare still inspiring people today. God gave us these different talents, not to divide us but to unite us. Together, we serve Him and become the body of Christ (Ephesians 2:19-22; 1 Peter 2:5). We all need each other and our different talents.\\nImagine if your church had no one who knew how to lead music or take care of the church building. What if none of them liked to teach small children or had the courage to stand up in front of everyone and preach or sing? As Christians, each one of us has the privilege of showing others what Jesus is like, and we will all do it differently, because our God is so wonderful that He couldn\\u2019t possibly be fully expressed by just certain groups of people. When we offer ourselves to God, He takes each little bit of our lives and ourselves and molds us into something beautiful. \\u2022 Jordyn Johnson\\n\\u2022 Who in your life has inspired you? What about them inspired you?\\n\\u2022 People with all kinds of talents and roles are mentioned in the Bible (not just the glamorous ones like rulers, public speakers, or musicians). When some of these people followed God, how did He work through their lives to show His goodness and bless other people? \\n\\u2022 Take a moment this week to ask God to show you what gifts He\\u2019s given you and how you might serve the family of God\\u2014and those who don\\u2019t know Him yet\\u2014through the way He made you! (Remember, this may or may not be in the context of regular church activities.) \\nJust as each one has received a gift, use it to serve others, as good stewards of the varied grace of God. 1 Peter 4:10 (CSB)\\n\\xa0\\nRead Verses:\\nJohn 10:7-18: Philippians 4:4-9; Colossians 3:1-3'
