“Just as each one has received a gift, use it to serve others, as good stewards of the varied grace of God.” 1 Peter 4:10
You can tell when someone becomes a grown up. Instead of "wanting" and "needing" things for solely their own benefit, or seeing what they have as "theirs" ... they want things that allow them to enjoy time with or to help others and they see what they have as an opportunity to spend time or bless others. A child who wants a toy and then once they have it, sits and plays with it for hours by themselves is cute. An adult who sits and plays with something by themselves for hours is missing out on the true value of the gifts that they have been given.
Lord, life is a TEAM sport and I need constant reminders to make life more about others and not myself.
