Trisha likes to help. Without being asked, she runs to help her mother bring in the groceries from the car. At school, she helps the teacher put away books. At church, she picks up the papers left in the benches and throws them away. Trisha has trusted in the Lord Jesus Christ as her Savior. The Holy Spirit has given her the spiritual gift of serving.

Serving is one of the spiritual gifts the Holy Spirit gives God's children. Spiritual gifts are used to help others who are in the Body of Christ. Serving is the ability to see jobs that need to be done and to do them. People with the gift of serving help in a way that frees others to use their own gift for the Lord.

Do you like to help others? When you see a need, do you often help without being asked? If you have answered "yes", you may have the gift of serving. The Bible says, "Serve wholeheartedly [willingly], as if you were serving the Lord, not men" (Ephesians 6:7). If you have the gift of serving, will you use it to help others in the Body of Christ?
