“Your talent is God’s gift to you. What you do with it is your gift back to God.”

Friend, God has placed something special inside of you.

Maybe you can sing, teach, build, organize, encourage, cook, create, lead, listen, or simply make people feel loved. Your gift may never put your name in lights, but when it is surrendered to God, it can bring light into somebody’s darkness.

First Peter 4:10 says, “As every man hath received the gift, even so minister the same one to another.”

Notice that the Bible says every person has received a gift. That includes you!

Your talent is not an accident. It is a God-given opportunity to serve others and bring glory to Him.

But gifts were never meant to remain unopened. Talent must be developed. Ability must be used. Opportunity must be embraced.

Don’t waste your time comparing your gift to somebody else’s. God didn’t ask you to be them. He asked you to be faithful with what He placed in your hands.

You may not believe your contribution is important, but somebody needs what God has given you.

So use your voice. Share your story. Offer your hands. Open your heart. Serve where you are, with what you have, while you can.

Your talent is God’s gift to you.

Using it for His glory is your gift back to Him.
