You’re not better or more important than any other member of the body of Christ. Every member has a purpose and function in the Church, as Christ has given them through the Holy Spirit. Pray and seek His will and purpose for you in the body of Christ. Humble yourself in the sight of the Lord and He will lift you up. He will exalt you. You don’t need to exalt yourself or recommend yourself to others. God will show them and you’ll see it within your own heart, mind and soul, as you surrender to Him daily, take up your cross and follow Him.
Romans 12:3-5 NLT
[3] Because of the privilege and authority God has given me, I give each of you this warning: Don’t think you are better than you really are. Be honest in your evaluation of yourselves, measuring yourselves by the faith God has given us. [4] Just as our bodies have many parts and each part has a special function, [5] so it is with Christ’s body. We are many parts of one body, and we all belong to each other.

Romans 12:6-9 NLT
[6] 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.

When we are truly loving and serving one another in the body of Christ, we will glorify Him as His light shines in and through we the Church. The Church is not just me, but we! Together we are promoting His Kingdom.
