“Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms.” - 1 Peter 4:10
As children of God, we are called to serve others through our giftings, skills, resources, and talents. Truth be told, di lang pala meant for our own convenience ang ating mga kakayanan. They are meant to further God’s Kingdom and to edify the church through various means.
There are three things that we can examine from this verse in line with service.
God has spiritually gifted each follower of Christ. Marahil iniisip mo na wala kang gifting, pero kapatid, God has given you something unique that you can use to contribute for His glory. It could be eloquent speaking. It could be singing, dancing, or even visual artistry. Not to mention, meron ding kaakibat na spiritual gifts ang pag-abide mo kay Lord continually. All these gifts are designed to reflect God’s grace, and are meant to draw people closer to Him.
Faithful stewards use their gifts to serve others. Tinuturo dito ni Peter na dapat nating gamitin ang ating mga kakayanan para sa kapakanan ng iba. In a way, iniimpart ni Peter ang mga paalala sa kanila ng Panginoon when it comes to serving other people (Luke 22:24-27). Ang ating service ang syang magpapakita ng ating faithfulness at pagmamahal sa Panginoon. Additionally, our respective gifts reveal our roles in God’s Kingdom, kaya keep seeking the Lord and keep desiring His gifts para dakilain Sya!
God’s grace is revealed to us through our faithfulness. Tulad ng nasabi natin kanina, through our gifts, nagiging extension tayo ng grace ng Panginoon, all because we remained faithful to our walk with Him. Ang ating mga gifts din ang magpapatunay ng kapangyarihan ng Ebanghelyo sa ibang tao, kaya the more we use these giftings, the more na makikita ng mga tao si Lord sa iyo!
Kaya kapatid, let us encourage you: Keep serving. Keep abiding. Keep fanning the flame of God’s grace and love. In due time, we will bear much fruit, if we do not give up!
Panginoon, maraming salamat dahil pinili Mo kami na maging vessel ng Iyong grace. We do not deserve these gifts, yet You chose us for such a time as this. Help us serve other people mightily, and may the sanctifying power of Your Gospel be seen in our service. In Jesus’ name, AMEN.
