How to Develop Your Gifts
People ask me all the time how to discover and develop the gifts God has
given them. Here are a few helpful steps that I've discovered:
1. Focus on the strengths God gave you. Concentrating on your strengths
will help you fulfill the calling God has put on your life.
2. Exercise your gift. Find something you like to do and that you do
well, and do it over and over again. Want to know what will happen? You
will feel better about yourself because you won't be constantly failing.
3. Have the courage to be different. Unhappiness comes when you try to
be like everyone else rather than embracing the unique person that you
are.
4. Learn to cope with criticism. Have enough confidence in who you are
in Christ that you can listen to others and be open to change without
feeling you have to agree with their viewpoint or attain their approval.
God has planted greatness in you. Let today be the beginning of a great adventure as you step into the gifts He's given you.
Prayer Starter: God, I want to cultivate and develop the gifts You've
given me. Give me the courage to follow You and develop the gifts and
abilities You've put inside me.
