You are responsible for managing your gifts and
talents. No matter how small or insignificant you think your gift or talent is,
it’s important you put them in good use
because GOD gave them to you knowing how significant, important, unique and
special they are, as well as the fulfilment that comes with using them in full
capacity and bringing glory to God.
Now I’m going to share with you some of my
favourite inspirational quotes by some people I admire, on talents and gifts.
Use your talent (everybody has one) in any way
you can. Don’t keep it for yourself like a miser. Spend it like a millionaire. –
Lucy MacDonald
True happiness involves the full use of one’s
power and talents.- John W. Gardner
Our gifts are a part of God’s purpose for us.-
Janice Elsheimer
How powerful are these quotes?
Many times, people wonder if they do have any
talent or gift at all to share with their world. They are not sure if it will make
any difference at all when put in use, and the fear of being laughed at or made
fun of keep them imprisoned for life- one of the reasons people end up
unfulfilled.
I want you to know that your talent and gift
were specifically given to you because God knew and still knows they will not
only improve your world, but they will bring you fulfilment too.
What if I have the same talent just as the
other fellow over there? You may ask. Every talent has its uniqueness, and
because you a unique individual, your own style, approach and ways of utilizing
your own talents and gifts must definitely be different from that fellow next
door. Take for instance, there are way too many pop stars out there, but when
you narrow your speciality to the type of music you love and the success
stories of most pop stars, you will agree with me although they all sing
similar songs, they’ve all got their individual style, voice, mannerism and
different level of success too, making it possible for them to continuously have
their own niche, audience and fans. This shows that we are indeed uniquely
carved and have different paths.
Is it making more sense now?
I want you to start today to put your talents
and gifts to good use. You will be amazed at what you can accomplish. Don’t
worry about the early stages or even spectators, monitoring your level of
success. So far you are impacting your world positively, enjoying what you are
doing and bringing glory to God, the sky is just your starting point.
If you have buried your talents and gifts for a
long time, this post is coming at the right time and just for you. Embrace it and start where you are!
Keep enjoying your awesome life. xx
