Day 32: Using what God gave you

Use your talents.

Serving in areas that you are not comfortable serving in is more difficult and serving in areas that are your strengths make serving a pleasure. That’s not to say that we can’t develop other areas, but in those areas where God has given us something, put all your effort into serving him through those ministries.

We are not always sure of our gifts and talents. In a world that aims at conformity, we often lack the experience to know what our talents may be. So we need to find them. We find them by getting involved. You cannot go to a textbook to study what kind of service you need to be in, first get the ball rolling, and then see what is happening. Get confirmation from other people on what they thing your talents are, or if they have been blessed by the ministry you are involved in or have started.

As we are all unique, what makes it as your talents will not always be what makes someone elses. When finding your area, look back on past experiences to confirm that what you are doing is effective or not. Learn from your experiences and adjust accordingly. Do not be afraid of what other people may think, look for more confirmation than just the feelings and opinions of others.

Serve in your area faithfully and enjoy the gifts that God has given you. But continue to experiment with other gifts and other areas, for you may find that you have missed the best part, but thank the Lord, it’s never too late.
