Using Your God-Given Gifts & Talents by Brenda McDaniel

God gives each one of us many gifts and talents. Each of us is unique and special. No one is exactly like you. We are unique in appearance and in how we live and deal with life. Our skills and talents, such as in the arts, music, science, and writing, can be developed to their ultimate potential—if we try! These talents and skills can also be used for God’s purposes.

God’s gifts may include being a good listener or speaker, which can lead to becoming a preacher, teacher, or counselor. Having empathy and understanding of another’s needs and problems might lead you to be a social worker.

In many ways, these gifts and talents are God-given and can be used in helping those in need and for the betterment of society. Such as using your gifts of empathy/understanding to encourage others. Or to educate the hurting, needy, or poor people. To help them find better ways of dealing with pain or disappointment and new ways of living their lives. Lives of faith, hope, and love. Faith in the Lord, hope for tomorrow. And a love of God, others, and themselves.

I can make a difference through my writing articles and poetry about the many blessings, miracles, and answered prayers during my lifetime. So believe in yourself. Look for your special talents and gifts to help this hurting world. You are a uniquely gifted and loved person, especially in the eyes of God!
