Let's Talk About...How to Use Your TalentsSample

God has given each of us unique talents, abilities, and passions—not just for our benefit but to reflect love and creativity in the world to others, too. Whether you’re great at art, music, sports, problem-solving, or helping others, those gifts are an opportunity to honor God. And this verse reminds us of just that! The writer says everything we do—big or small—can be something that we do for God. Instead of thinking about things you do as ways to pass the time, what if you saw them as ways to make a difference? Maybe you can encourage someone with your creativity or use your time to serve others. Whatever it is, remember that every act—even how you play your favorite video game—matters to God when it’s done with love and purpose.
How can you use what you’re good at to show God’s love to others this week? What would it look like to work at it with all your heart, knowing it’s ultimately a way to worship God?
