And also— just how important I am to the church. I realize that you’ve called me to make a positive difference with the gifting you’ve given me. I want to use my gift with a grateful heart and serve others. I also choose to promote unity and will continually rebuke the temptation of having my own agenda.

We are Better Together.In Jesus Name I pray, Amen!
