Using Your God-Given Gifts

Written by Daniel Austin and Claire Dallimore

Everyone was put on this Earth with a special gift, that was given to them by God. Today we are here to talk to you about using them for the betterment of yourself and others. You were put on this Earth and built in the womb, shaped by God so you could bring God's love into the world. The definition of an inner gift is: “special abilities, talents, or capacities given to individual Christians by the Holy Spirit”.¹ What you may think is a useless quality is a gift given to you by God for a purpose. 

You were made in God's image, you were made to stand out and we want to tell you to use your gifts to stand out and use it in a way that brings God’s word to light. Everyone has their own unique gifts. So how do we use those gifts in a Godly way? One of the biggest ways to show the world God’s love through your gifts is by helping at church, a homeless shelter, or a dog shelter. By giving back to your community you are showing God’s love, and utilizing the gifts that God has given you. 

Another way you can use your gifts is by speaking the word. Your gift may be evangelism. If so then go out and use your gift, tell the world about it. Love God and don't be afraid to show your love for God to the world. Use your gifts and everything that God made unique to you to show the world that you believe in God and use your uniqueness to bring light into the world. No matter how important your gift may seem, God gave it to you for a reason and the best thing you can do is use your gift.
