Using Our God-Given Gifts
Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, let us use them: if prophecy, let us prophesy in proportion to our faith; or ministry, let us use it in our ministering; he who teaches, in teaching; he who exhorts, in exhortation; he who gives, with liberality; he who leads, with diligence; he who shows mercy, with cheerfulness. - Rom. 12:6-8.
The pain and rejection we’ve experienced may cause us to hide certain talents—some we’re aware of, others we’ve yet to discover. However, we become good stewards of the talents God has given us as we use and grow in them. Even after years of not using these gifts, God can redeem the time and make us fruitful once again. He revives these talents and leads us into our divine purposes.
There are no insignificant gifts. We should also consider and embrace uncommon talents, like a man who loves cooking or a woman who enjoys working on cars. To identify our gifts, we can pay attention to what excites us, what stirs our spirit, and what makes us come alive. As we practice and celebrate these talents, we will see their fruitfulness. Even if we’ve delayed stepping into what God has called us to do, it’s never too late to pray for His guidance and help.
Sometimes, people find themselves stuck doing one thing when their heart longs to do another. By seeking the Lord and being good stewards of our talents, we open the door to new opportunities. God accepts us as precious, uniquely and wonderfully made, and our gifts are meant to bless one another and glorify Him. Let us walk in our purpose, using our God-given gifts, from glory to glory!
