Daily Verse
August 18
We are all called to minister life.
Romans 1:11 ‘For I long to see you, that I may impart unto you some spiritual gift, to the end you may be established;’
The desire to see them was produced by the love of Christ;
the ministry gift he brought was led, guided,
and empowered by the Holy Spirit;
and the people were established by being built up in the word of God.
We all have different callings
but in Christ we are all called to minister life.
It is the love of Christ that motivates us;
the Holy Spirit who ministers through us;
and the word of God that makes His people strong and steadfast.
We are one body in Christ
and together we minister life through our words; our actions;
and also through our prayers.
