Do you have the gift of speaking? Then speak as though God himself were speaking through you. Do you have the gift of helping others? Do it with all the strength and energy that God supplies. Then everything you do will bring glory to God through Jesus Christ. All glory and power to Him forever and ever! Amen. 1 Peter 4:11 NLT

 

Yesterday I had the privilege of meeting my wife’s cousin and his wife. They both have ties to employment with a nationwide food chain. We discussed the success of the company and one of the elements that keeps the business doing so well; its employees. The employees are treated well and taught to treat each customer with respect, have a friendly smile, and oftentimes go out of their way, exceeding the customer’s expectation. Its no wonder this chain has been so successful and it all started with the original founder and his work ethic, which is carried on through its family of employees.

 

As Christians, God provides each of us talents to serve Him and bless others. You might already be aware of your talents and gifts and hopefully are using them. Unfortunately, many Christians don’t recognize their gifts or use them in their daily life. If the world is going to see their need for God, they need to see Him living through you and every other child of God. Non-Christians have no view of God or understanding of His unconditional love. By using your talents and gifts, they will catch a glimpse of our awesome God and hopefully want to be a part of His family too.

 

Pray and ask God to reveal the gifts He’s given you, then ask for Him to open the door of opportunity to serve Him.  Trust me, blessings will follow when you serve on behalf of our Heavenly Father! Use your talents today! God bless!
