- 1 Peter 4:10 : "As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God's varied grace."
- Romans 12:6 : "Having gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, let us use them: if prophecy, in proportion to our faith.."
- Each of us is blessed with our own special talents! God gave us these gifts, so we should honor Him by using them to worship Him.
In 1 Peter 4:10 it talks about using our gifts to serve one another. Part of worshiping God is trying to be more Christ like which includes compassion and helping each other! We need to use our specific talents to their best capacity to be servants of God. Use your talents to witness and to aid. Like I've stated before, you never know how you can change someone's life. Different things speak to different people! Your talent may speak to someone in ways that other people can't whether it's writing, singing, dancing, and many other things. Recognize your gift and be thankful for it! Appreciate the tools God has given to you to help yourself on your spiritual walk with Christ.
In Romans 12:6 it simply says that we all have different talents. We should find those talents and use them to the best of our abilities. Understand the depth of what you have been gifted with! You could be a witness, a leader, or an inspiration to someone else without even knowing it. God gave you the gift He knew you could use the best. Show your thankfulness by utilizing that gift!(: For example, I think God has given me the gift to simplify and explain things, the gift of council. I try to use that gift as much as possible for good and show that I appreciate it.
Questions/Application
- What gift has God given you?
- How can you use your gift to witness to others?
- Who's gift do you appreciate that you feel speaks to you the most? (Basically, who is an inspiration to you)

yes, we ARE CREATED with certain thngs that we are good at - but, sometimes we, humans, get into a carnal pride ("oh, yes, I'm doing so well for GOD.")and GOD HAS to ALLOW certain things into our lives so that we realize who we are, in us, and WHO HE IS, IN us.

As a human, I desire GLORY but, I will not be a fool. I WILL TELL HIS TRUTH. I will bear this so that no man thinks more of me; by what I do or by what I say.
GOD allows a messenger/spirit of satan to " check/tempt " me so that I don't get too " big-headed " (stay concious of my humaness) in all the REVELATIONS GOD GIVES me. In my humaness, I might take all these REVELATIONS and reveal them as my knowledge.
I PRAYED to my GOD about this messenger from satan and for GOD to take it away. ALL KNOWING GOD KNOWS, that in my humaness, I might, just, build/exalt myself too much so, HE SAID, "MY GRACE IS ALL you NEED. In your KNOWING your humaness, MY GODLINESS WILL BE PROMINENT/STRONG, through you."
In this understanding, I GLADLY GLORY
in my afflictions,
in criticism,
in my human needs,
in accusations against me,
and in my anxieties
so that the POWER of MESSIAH,
HIS BODY INDWELLED by HIS SPIRIT,
is all HIS PEOPLE SEE.
In this weakness, HE IS/I AM STRONG.
2Cor. 12:5-10
