Use your gift.

Take thy first walk with God!

Let Him go forth with thee;

By stream, or sea, or mountain path,

Seek still His company.

                        By Horatius Bonar.

How are you going to use your gift or talent for God? Will you grow it, or Will you bury it?

None of us are left without a gift. God has given each one potential powers for creativity. It is the duty of the individual to work assiduously and discover these powers. Every man or woman has a duty to build one's gift to it fullness by exercising them in contributing to the needs of others.

Once, there were two girls studying in a same class. The teacher gifted, gifts to both of them. One girl, opened her gift and was very excited to see, a beautiful pen. The other girl opened her gift but had a long face after opening, as she was not happy with the beautiful pencil she got.

 The girl who got pen was very happy as her pen was very beautiful. It had a black body and a golden cap. The writing and drawing was fantastic with it. Whereas,  the girl who got the pencil was unhappy and considered her gift to be very cheap and common. Her, pencil was very light and did not had any attraction. It also had an eraser at the end. Now, the teacher asked both of them to make a drawing with their gifts. The girl with the pen made her drawing perfect, with bold strokes and completed the drawing by perfect shading as she was very happy with her gift so, tried to enjoy her work with completion and perfection.

Now, the other girl was not much happy about her gift so she made the drawing but not with her whole heart thereby creating many mistakes in her drawing, for which she had to use an eraser often. Because of the repeated erasing, marks were left on the drawing sheet. In whole, her drawing did not reach to perfection and completion. By this story, we come into a conclusion that, God is the one who gives gift. We are all gifted, and it is you who has to discover your gifts. It's you who have to identify, cultivate, nurture and develop the gift to glorify God with what you have. Never think your gift, is small or not better than the other person. Your gift is unique,  her gift is unique so, make  it perfect, and make the best use of it, to return it to God.

Whatever your talent may be, or whatever you are good in like writing, drawing, music, singing, cooking, praying; it should be used for God and should be done heartily. He didn’t gift you with talents just for your own benefit but to be useful for His kingdom.

In Romans 12: 6 - Paul says, We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each one of us.

Famous Quote:- We all have gift, but we have to discover the gift, uncover the gift, nurture and develop the gift and use for the glory of God and for the liberation and struggle of our people.- Louis Farrakhan
