Message
Ever thought about why God gives us gifts? Well, it is because He knows how amazing every single one of us is. He carefully selects these special talents and abilities just for you because He wants to see you shine brightly and make a positive impact on the world around you. So, whether it is your ability to sing, draw, or any form of creativity, we should not boast about it, but instead, use it to help others and make God happy.
As friends of Jesus, we should keep in mind that God rescued us from sin and gave us gifts to help others. We should not use our gifts for bad things. Every day, we should thank God for our gifts and make Him happy by spreading His love everywhere we go!
Activity: Think about your talents, and recognize any you have not used well. Apologize to God for this, and ask Him to help you use your talents to serve in His house.
