"If your gift is serving others, serve them well. If you are a teacher, teach well. If your gift is to encourage others, be encouraging. If it is giving, give generously.
​
If God has given you leadership ability, take the responsibility seriously. And if you have a gift for showing kindness to others, do it gladly.
​
Don’t just pretend to love others. Really love them. Hate what is wrong. Hold tightly to what is good."
Romans 12:7-9 (NLT)
