May we use all of our gifts and talents as we walk boldly in Christ and in newness each day because of His grace and mercy

Your Talents

Today’s message begins with the writer sharing words from author Leo Buscaglia. He said, "Your talent is God's gift to you. What you do with it is your gift back to God." We all are talented in our own way. There is something that we all do well naturally, and whatever comes naturally is from the Lord. As a reminder from today’s text, “Use the gifts God has given you. In doing so, you will find your life blessed and, at the same time, be a blessing to others. And, as an added bonus, you'll be giving your gift back to God. Is there anything better than that? Don’t take lightly or for granted what God has placed in you. Like Him, let us share in what He has unlikely blessed us with and the capability to do.

1 Peter 4:10 reads. “God has given each of you a gift from his great variety of spiritual gifts. Use them well to serve one another.”

Let us remember what we have been blessed to do and us it along life’s journey, working towards what we have been created to do and towards the upbuilding of His kingdom here on earth.

Small Straws Scripture: 2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.

When we accept Christ, we are blessed with a new life of new beginnings. Who we were is not who we are and are becoming.

Youversion Verse of the Day: Galatians 5:24

Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.

In everything that we do, let us strive to seek Christ’s desire for us, from the simplest to the most complex decisions in our lives.

May we use all of our gifts and talents as we walk boldly in Christ and in newness each day because of His grace and mercy, my friend.💚🙏🏽🦋🌈
