What Does the Bible Say about our Gifts?

What does the Bible say about our gifts - spiritual, artistic, or any other gift God has given you?

1) Don't neglect them - 1 Timothy 4:14

2) Use them or lose them - Matthew 25:20-21

3) Serve others through them - 1 Peter 4:10


What are you doing with the gifts God has given you? Our gifts are given not just for ourselves, but for the purpose of blessing others as we cultivate and use them.

May we all desire to hear our Heavenly Father say, "Well done, good and faithful servant, you have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your Master's happiness!" (Matthew 25:21,23)

The result of cultivating your gifts, using your gifts, and serving others through your gifts is joy and fulfillment, and the feeling of "Yes! I was created for this!".
