A Steward of Grace
Scripture
As every man hath received the gift, even so minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.
KJV · Public domain in the United States · Text provenance: Project Gutenberg eBook #10
Devotional
You have received gifts through personality, experience, training, hardship, and grace. Retirement changes where those gifts are used, not whether they exist. A former manager may become a mentor. A careful organizer may help a small ministry. A patient listener may become a safe companion. A craft, meal, prayer, repair, or ride can carry grace. A steward does not own the gift or use it to build identity. A steward makes it available wisely. Ask where your gift meets a real need without violating the limits of this season. You may be surprised by how much grace can travel through one ability offered without fanfare.
Reflection
Which gift have I assumed retired when God may simply want to redirect it?
Prayer
Giver of every good gift, make me a wise steward of what You have placed in my hands. Let it carry grace to others. Amen.
