God Given Talents

I always tell my kids life would be boring if we were all the same. God created us in his image, each unique, with different talents. Some of us are teachers, or preachers, some are evangelists, cooks, servers, or caregivers. We are unique because God has a specific plan for our lives and a job for us to do in the church.

1 Corinthians 12:27 says, “Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it”.

Think of us as individual snowflakes, each unique, no two the same. When all the snowflakes stick together, they create a snowman. Just as each of us is unique, when we stick together, we make the body of the church. It takes all of us!

What do people compliment you on and say you do well?

 Once you find it, ask yourself, how does God want me to use my talent in the church?

If you do an internet search for what is my God-given talent, there are tons of resources to help you identify yours.
