Using Your God-Given Talents
ENROLL-EQUIP-ENCOURAGE
Every one of us has been blessed with God-given talents—and yes, that includes you. You don’t have to take my word for it either because the world’s bestselling book clearly spells it out. Yep, I’m talking about the Bible. Romans 12:6 (NLT) says, “In his grace, God has given us different gifts for doing certain things well.
If you’re struggling in either of those departments, take a deep breath. I’m going to share some of my favourite tips for using your God-given talents and figuring out what they are in the first place.
Here are some God-given talents and abilities mentioned in the Bible:
