1 Corinthians 12:6
There are varieties of activities, but it is the same God who empowers them all in everyone.
When we try to teach, preach or evangelize by our own strength and capability, we will be unsuccessful. The power is not in us. The power is in the Holy Spirit that is within us. We must let the Holy Spirit lead us and let the outpouring of the Holy Spirit be our product.
It is not our job to convert people. It is our job to have people drawn to us by the way that we live our lives in Jesus Christ. Even though our labors may be ordinary, if they are done as works of faith, labors of love and with persistent hope in Our Savior, the Holy Spirit will carry on and complete the work of Our Heavenly Father in His children.
Once drawn to us by our walk with Jesus, the people around us will have Jesus revealed to them as the way, the truth and the life. Through our living testimonies, those around us will be able to receive every good and perfect gift of The Father.
Prayer
Heavenly Father, we thank You for revealing Yourself through all Your works in nature throughout the universe, including Your humble servants who are so undeserving. We thank You, Lord, for assigning to us various gifts, administrations and operations for us to carry out in the name of Jesus. We rejoice, Father, in knowing that the world can learn of Your good and perfect gifts by observing the lives of those who have already accepted Your gift of salvation and are obedient to You in the ordinary things of life. We pray, Lord, that Your grace will fill our hearts so that the world will know You.
