Different Gifts, Same Spirit Podcast Episode
/This Sunday's reading from First Corinthians tells us that "there are different kinds of spiritual gifts but the same Spirit," and that sounds very nice. However, how does this actually manifest in communities and families? Do we really affirm the gifts in each each other? Do we appreciate our own gifts? Let's reflect on all this a little more deeply . . .
For Reflection:
Have you ever struggled to recognize your own gifts?
Have you ever resented someone else for the gifts they have? What effect does that have on you? Does it move you toward or away from God?
What helps you to be grateful for your strengths?
What helps you to feel free to use your gifts, to try new things, to grow?
Let’s take a moment of silence to see what God has to say to us about our gifts.
