1 Peter 4:10-11
From the Pastor’s Desk
Rhea Bullos, an 11-year-old track athlete from the Philippines, went viral after competing in a local inter- school running meet. Bullos won three gold medals in the 400-meter, 800-meter, and 1,500-meter competitions. The girl went viral not only because she won but because she didn't have running shoes and decided to use bandages as shoes.
I always say and I will reiterate that at any point in your life, know that you have everything you need to succeed. The girl did not focus on what those who had shoes had, she focused on using what she had and has further opened many other opportunities. Many of us wouldn't have participated for fear of what other runners or spectators were going to say about us and would have missed an opportunity that would have improved our lives and eventually brought other opportunities.
How many opportunities have passed you because you are not using what you have? Stop focusing on how other people started and start using what you have. Always remember You are enough.
Rev. Reginald G. Reid, Sr., Pastor
Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms. 11If you speak, you should do so as one who speaks the very words of God. If you serve, you should do so with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ. To him be the glory and the power for ever and ever. Amen
Every good thing we have is ours only by God's grace and intended to be used for His purpose. To fail to use God's gifts to serve each
other is to fail to be a good steward. Wisely using everything we have to serve each other is part of fulfilling our purpose as God's set-
apart people. Start using what you have to bring God glory.
