Same Power

"The same power that conquored the grave lives in me" is a line from a song, but also in the Bible (right about now I'm a little too lazy to look it up. I know it's there, though.)

Thinking about that same thought.. put it into a perspective that you may not think of every day.
Ever been jealous of someone that seemed to "have more of a connection to God" than you? Or how about someone who seemed to have more gifts than you, or in general just a "better Christian" than you?

Well look at it like this, please. We all have different gifts and talents that God placed in each of us for our own purposes.
Plus, you reach different people than others. Only you have the ability to reach certain people!
That's special, and that's yours!

If you're sitting in a pew on a Sunday morning thinking to yourself that you're not as good as the pastor, worship team or a youth leader.. think twice. You've got a lot to offer your church, you just have to find out what exactly your gifts are.. and remember that without you, there is a hole that cannot be replaced.

You are unique and you are needed.
