God calls us to be faithful stewards to our gifts by using them diligently and for his glory, not our own. We are not meant to hide our gifts or to use them selfishly. Instead, we are to use them for our God-given purpose and to advance God’s kingdom. We can also use our gifts to bless others around us, whether through acts of service, leadership, creating beauty or spreading kindness. With each of us serving and using our gifts and talents to help spread God’s love we can help people recognize the strength of Christ.
Give all glory to God in all that we do.
Each person has their own talents, their own motivators and purposes. Determining our talents and gifts can be easy for some, and more difficult for others. We may be able to grasp certain concepts or skills naturally, whereas others have to be intentional and dedicated to bettering their talents. But through this, one thing is true: God has given each of us talents and a purpose to serve. Through these talents God has blessed us with, we can also glorify him.

God, as he was creating us has also blessed us with different talents. We each have our own special talents and skills that may help us serve in our purpose. There are many spiritual gifts you could have, such as teaching, encouragement, leadership or practical abilities like, creativity, organization or problem-solving.
It may not always be obvious what talents we each have, but God helps in preparing us. We can rely and lean on him for guidance and strength through difficult times. God has given us a purpose to be good stewards. In being a good steward, we can recognize that every good thing we have is a gift from God.
