If you ever thought that you lack skills, knowledge, or experience to do something worthwhile, think again.
To each is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good. ( 1 Corinthians 12:7 ESV)
The Apostle Paul makes it abundantly clear that all believers are given the Holy Spirit to dwell within them to do something incredibly good for all people. You may not find the next cure of polio or work out the crisis in the Middle East, but you can do good when you allow the Spirit of God within you to use you for doing good. Those things really add up. This good is not a selfish “good” but a “common” good, which embodies the well-being of people you like and dislike. Just think about this today: in what ways can I manifest a “common” good to the people around me? (e.g. buying a hungry person a meal; smiling at a stranger and wishing them a good day; holding the door open for the person behind you; etc.)
