Romans 12:3-"For through the grace given to me I say to everyone among you not to think more highly of himself than he ought to think; but to think so as to have sound judgment, as God has allotted to each a measure of faith."

As i have read through Romans, this verse has jumped out to me so much...Joey (guy) may have already touched on this in past posts as well. Anyways, in verses 3-8 of chapter 12, Paul is talking about service and our spiriutal gifts. God has allotted or given to us the ability to be faithful in whatever He has led us to do...it has absolutleyl nothing to do with us. For us to think highly of ourselves and think we have something that is so great about us that God "must use" for His service is unbelievable. God has graciuosly sought fit to use us according to gifts HE has given to us. He has granted us the ability to be faithful in those gifts of service as well....As we continue on in our walks and in our ministries, remind yourselves that we are not serving because there is something great about us but due to the fact that God has graciously allowed us to faithfully serve Him.
