This verse means a lot to me as I am reminded to serve God well with the gifts He has given me. Romans 12:6-7: ‘In His grace, God has given us different gifts for doing certain things well. So, if God has given you the ability to prophesy, speakout with as much faith as God has given you. If your gift is serving others, serve them well. If you are teacher, teach well.’
