Friday – October 14th – 1 Peter 4:10     -----     
 
4:10) God has given each of you a gift from his great variety of spiritual gifts. Use them well to serve one another.
 
The Daily Walk Bible inspirational thought for today:
      THOSE ON THE ROAD TO HEAVEN WILL NOT BE CONTENT TO GO THERE ALONE.*

     Happy Friday you ‘all!  October weekend plans abound throughout our area. I will remind all SunRise folks that next Saturday (10/22) will be our annual Trunk or Treat community event held in the McClure parking lot. We are always in need of trunks, so go to the SunRise website or the SunRise app and look for the event page link. Our inspirational thought for today is a great way to remind us that we are called to share our faith with others. As a follower of Jesus, we have been given the gift of eternal life in Heaven because God has forgiven our sins. The true nature of the beauty, joy, splendor, peace, and experience of Heaven is far beyond any of our imaginations. If we are excited of being in Heaven and not spending eternity in a place Jesus’ described as filled with wailing and gnashing of teeth, then we should be equally excited about sharing that opportunity with others.
 
    In our pick verse today, Peter introduces a short section on encouraging believers in the use of their God-given spiritual gifts. These gifts from God are intended for us to use them to do our part to “populate the Kingdom of Heaven”. God’s manifold grace gives people different abilities that all work together for God’s glory and the growth of the kingdom. All believers are to utilize their spiritual gift or gifts to provide help for others on their faith journey. It is by God’s design that each of us have different spiritual gifts that enhance the missions and ministries of the local church. If everyone had the same gift the church would be unbelievably strong in one area and at the same time deficient in all other areas. God knows exactly what gift each person needs and then how to bring a variety of gifts together to create a strong and vibrant church community The greatest thing we can do for the kingdom is to put our spiritual gift to use on a regular basis.

Blessings
