Elizabeth Elliot Devotional
Each Christian is a dispenser. God has supplied
each one with gifts He has selected (He does not
offer an array of options), with the good of all
in mind. When we imagine that these gifts are for
our own mere satisfaction, we are forgetting they
are intended for service. All that I have is
meant to contribute to the needs of others, and
what I need will be supplied through God's
dispensers. Thus He unifies and harmonizes the
whole church, which is his body, making each
dispenser indispensable, for each dispenses a
grace which is peculiarly his.
"Serve one another with the particular gifts God
has given each of you, as faithful dispensers of
the magnificently varied grace of God" (l Pt 4:10
NEB).
