Using Your Gifts

"Based on the gift they have received, everyone should use it to serve others, as good managers of the varied grace of God" 
-- 1 Peter 4:10 / Holman Christian Standard Bible

All people possess special gifts - bestowed from the Father above - and you are no exception.  But, your gift is no guarantee of success; it must be cultivated and nurtured; otherwise, it will go unused . . . and God's gift to you will be squandered. Today, make a promise to yourself that you will earnestly seek to discover the talents that God has given you.  Then, nourish those talents and make them grow.  Finally, vow to share your gifts with the world for as long as God gives you the power to do so. After all, the best way to say, "Thank You" for God's gifts is to use them.

"One thing taught large in the Holy Scriptures is that while God gives His gifts freely, He will require a strict accounting of them at the end of the road"
-- A.W. Tozer

Lord, let us use our gifts, and let us help others discover theirs.  Your gifts are priceless and eternal. May we, Your children, use them to the glory of Your kingdom, today and forever.
