God Gives Talent; But We Must Prayerfully, Fervently Seek It Out, Exercise It, Use It

To bless people and serve God

One of the the most important factors of living a successful, productive, and satisfying life is to seek out your God given, human talent, confirm it, educate it, exercise it and use it for the glory of God and benefit of your family and the maybe the world. Every human has at least one human talent with which to serve mankind. Those who have more than one are responsible to cultivate and use them all. God wouldn't give gifts and talents to us if He did not intend us to exercise them and invest them for the good of ourselves, those around us and in some cases, the nation and the world. All human beings have these born in talents.

It is also true that many of those who do not seek the truth of their own gifts and talents, but seek rather to copy someone else's talent, which they admire and lust after, but do not possess, and waste their time, true talent, bore those around them, and then answer to God for not using the seed talent He gave them to discover, cultivate and use.

God's "Spiritual Gifts", given to true believers only, are another matter, but they too are often neglected or misused by those who have received them from God. Also, sometimes, spiritual gifts are usurped by other professing Christians who neglect their own gifts and seek to be something they are not gifted to do. And most of their fellow church members endure their pitiful attempt. 

"If any man minister (serve), let him do it as of the ability which God giveth...." 
1 Pet.4:11.     But if God did not gift you to sing solos, pastor, or lead, then exercise your own gifts.

Here is an example of the discovery, exercise and ministering of a God-given talent with which this Christian lady worships and serves Him and blesses others.
