Romans 12:3
The Message
3I'm speaking to you out of deep gratitude for all that God has given me, and especially as I have responsibilities in relation to you. Living then, as every one of you does, in pure grace, it's important that you not misinterpret yourselves as people who are bringing this goodness to God. No, God brings it all to you. The only accurate way to understand ourselves is by what God is and by what he does for us, not by what we are and what we do for him.
How do you see yourself? Do you see yourself as others do or as God sees you? The only goodness in you is the God in you. All the gifts and talents He has given you is to build His kingdom. All of the blessings you have are for His glory. You have what you have and you are who you are because of His grace. What is grace? Undeserved favor.
As God uses you, don't think to highly of yourself. God works through you but He doesn't need you to accomplish His purpose. He has blessed you to bless someone else. Don't make the mistake of thinking it was you. Don't worry about recognition or accolades. It's all about the kingdom.
Be a Kingdom builder.
God Bless
