Did you know that God is most pleased when we use our talent and natural abilities for His glory? I am a living testimony for that since I used my talent in singing to glorify His name. God was really pleased in my life and He continues to amaze me everyday. I can’t count all the blessings that He gave to me and my family as well. You know my friends, if we only use our talent for Him, you will see and experienced His goodness and on how He will bless you because you put Him first.

As a loving Father, He created us with natural abilities and strengths and then, on top of that, bestowed spiritual gifts as well. Why has He done this? God granted us gifts and abilities so we can serve others, as well as give part of ourselves back to Him.

One way to recognize our talents is to notice things we excel at and enjoy doing. Another is to ask close friends or family members which areas they see as our strengths. Yet a third is to take one of the various tests that measure our strengths and weaknesses, as well as reveal spiritual gifts.

And we today, by opening our hearts to the gifts God has given us, can not only further God’s kingdom and find greater fulfillment in life, but can also give a heartfelt “thank you” to the one who so graciously bestowed upon us so many gifts in the first place.God has given us the talents we have so that we can help strengthen others.
