The second gift on our list is service, or ministering. This is such an important gift. Some people are called just to get in there and help. Not to try to plan. Not to fund the project. Not to teach. Some are called simply to help others.
When I think of this gift, I think of Jesus, with a towel around his waist, washing his disciples' feet. The King of the Universe as a servant for the world.
I also think of the earliest deacons (same Greek word as "service") in the church (Acts 6.1-7). They were chosen to wait on the widows of the church. Since everyone was sharing everything, they had the responsibility to look after the most vulnerable in the church.
Have you been given the gift of service? How will God use you to serve the world?
