All needed

"Now you are the body of Christ and individually members of it." (1Corinthians 12.27)
It seems that some folks think too little of their contribution to the life of the Church. They doubt that they have any special gifts, talents, or abilities. They feel they have nothing to contribute. Not so! Paul shows us in the twelfth chapter of Romans and 1Corinthians that every Christian has at least one special talent, gift, or ability for the "building up of the church." I find that many people who have the gift of service (a gift that is not as much in the spotlight as the more visible gifts like preaching, teaching, music, etc.) doubt that they have any gift at all. But thank goodness we've all not be called to preach, teach, or be "out front." If so, there would be no one to listen! Service is often a gift that is exercised in the background, but is just as necessary as the other more public and "visible" gifts. If you have a heart to help people, if you always like chipping in, in very tangible ways, then you may have the gift of service. Use it for God's glory! Remember Paul's words, "On the contrary, the parts of the body [the Body of Christ, the Church] which seem to be weaker are indispensable." (1Corinthians 12.22) All are important in the Body of Christ, the Church!
