Do you ever doubt? Good! Doubt is natural, normal, & necessary in order to grow a great faith! God created us to be inquisitive & to seek after truth. There is a danger to doubt but we don't have to allow it to derail us. Instead, allow it to be part of the process of a deepening faith!

Full Throttle Serving
Romans 12:6-10 In his grace, God has given us different gifts for doing certain things well. So if God has given you the ability to prophesy, speak out with as much faith as God has given you.7 If your gift is serving others, serve them well. If you are a teacher, teach well.8 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.
9 Don't just pretend to love others. Really love them. Hate what is wrong. Hold tightly to what is good.10 Love each other with genuine affections and take delight in honoring each other.
I sense that Paul was saying, whatever your gift, go full throttle in releasing it (hold NOTHING back) so that I am making righteous deposits in others.
If it is prophesy - don't hold back; give all you have to help the other person.
If it is serving - don't hold back; unleash all you have to offer.
If it is teaching - BRING IT!
If it is encouraging - unload it on them!
(you get my point)
Whatever our gifts, they must be used for the sole purpose of being Christ's Body on earth & it must be expressed in helping others take the next step in their spiritual walk.
People all around us, need us to make the godly deposits. No matter who they are, how close to us they are, if they are willing to admit it or not, they desperately need us!
