Lord Jesus, Your grace abounds. You are the only One who can measure it or quantify it, as You are the source of the disbursement and the One who chooses the type of gift, according to Your good purpose. Holy Spirit, keep me on the path to use the gifts given specifically to me as Jesus intends them to be used to point others to Him, to serve His church and love one another. Show me how there is to be less of me and more of Jesus in the process. “Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in Your Sight, Oh Lord, my strength and my Redeemer.” (Ps 19:14) I praise You in Your name above all names, in Your authority greater than any other, according to the good and perfect will of the Father. Amen.
“But to each one of us grace was given according to the measure of Christ’s gift.” (Ephesians 4: 7 NKJV)
