Use Your Uniqueness to Serve

I have a unique name, Trevor Flisowski. I have a unique approach. I have unique gifts. My service is unique.

“⁴Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit; ⁵and there are varieties of service, but the same Lord; ⁶and there are varieties of activities, but it is the same God who empowers them all in everyone.” – 1 Corinthians 12:4-6 (ESV)

Paul explains to the Corinthians here that there are “varieties” in everything, but only ONE for which they should be using those “varieties” to serve.

I am unique and that is certainly okay and frankly set up that way by God.

“⁷To each is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good. ⁸For to one is given through the Spirit the utterance of wisdom, and to another the utterance of knowledge according to the same Spirit, ⁹to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by the one Spirit, ¹⁰to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another the ability to distinguish between spirits, to another various kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues.” – 1 Corinthians 12:7-10 (ESV)

The varieties of my “gifts, service, activities” are from God and for a purpose that may or may not have yet to be revealed to me. But, they have been given for me to b used by our Lord.

“¹¹All these are empowered by one and the same Spirit, who apportions to each one individually as he wills.” – 1 Corinthians 12:11 (ESV)

What are the varieties that have been given to you? How are you using those varieties for God? Are you using your uniqueness to serve?
