Theme: You be You and Let Them Be Them!

Verse: Romans 12:4

The great thing about running / walking is there are so many ways to participate.  Littleequipment is required, and success can be measured in a variety of ways. In my mind, the most important thing is not speed or volume of miles, but consistency. 

This is not unlike our spiritual journey. You don’t need any specialized training or equipment. Just an open mind, an open heart, and a little bit of consistency to be successful. Each person has their own set of spiritual gifts.

If you are a good speaker, maybe you can preach. If you are a good listener, maybe you can be a comforting ear to someone who just needs a friend. If you are a coach, maybe you can teach something. The point is everyone has some talent to share. And we need ALL those talents to be a fully functioning community.

Don’t try to be something that you are not. Just work hard and consistently within that talent set that God has given you.

Have a great week!
