At the end of every week, we'll give you a challenge—something to try that might be outside your regular routine. Each challenge is designed to help you develop one important spiritual habit. This week, it's...

USE YOUR GIFTS

God has given all of us unique gifts. Whether it's your skills, talents, character traits, experiences, lessons learned, or even some of the stuff you own, you have a lot you can share with others. Today's challenge is going to help you think about the gifts God has uniquely given you and how you can use those gifts to love God and others. Because when we use our gifts for God, we grow!

CHALLENGE

This week, find a way to use your gifts to create something that counteracts a past mindset you held. Use whatever you make to tell about how God has given you a new story. If you used to talk down about yourself all the time, create something that affirms your own worth and the beauty of others. If you used to struggle with lying, create something honest. If you were selfish, get out and serve others.

Place your creation in a place you will see regularly—like your locker at school, linked to your phone's home screen, or on your bathroom mirror—to remind yourself that God has given you a new story.
