"God has given each of you a gift from his great variety of spiritual gifts. Use them well to serve one another" (1 Peter 4:10 nlt).
People sometimes ask me what it's like to stand up and preach at a crusade. It's an awesome privilege as well as a somewhat scary responsibility because I want to make sure that I represent the Lord well.
