Vital Step to a Radiant Faith-Desire Spiritual Gifts
JOHN SHIRK – In the Year to Shine, today’s Vital Step to a Radiant Faith is to eagerly desire spiritual gifts.
This word of instruction is found in First Corinthians 14:1. That is the same place where we are taught to follow the way of love.
Love brings light to our service in God’s Kingdom. People receive care and support, needs are met, and spiritual growth happens when we carry out service opportunities with a heart of love.
First Corinthians 14:12 says, “Since you are eager for gifts of the Spirit, try to excel in those that build up the church.”
God has equipped each of us with a personality and with skills to become a light for the Gospel. As we serve God, there will be opportunities to develop those gifts in ways that build up the body of Christ and glorify God.
Eagerly Desiring Spiritual Gifts is a vital step to a Radiant Faith that makes a difference in our world.
