Let's look at it another way. Whatever talent you have it is God given. God made you what you are and gave you whatever ability you have; to be a doctor, a lawyer, a singer or whatever else. By hiding your talent you are doing Him a disservice rather than glorify Him to the best of your ability.
As for me; I have a sense of humour. I hope God does too, or else I'm in real trouble.
What's your talent?
Hi Victor, I think what God has given me to do, and what I have always loved doing, is painting portraits and tigers. I have loved all types of cats especially. My writing poems only came after my near death experience, so it was definitely God Who enabled me to do that. God bless.
ReplyDeleteOh I do wish I could paint. Especially portraits. I can draw stick men and women though. Like this:

And I'm good at painting the garden fence and gate.
You're very talented, Brenda. God bless you.
I work on a church staff and for the last few months, we've been doing a different kind of introduction. At the end of each Director's meeting, we have one person tell the group about themselves. The deal is that you have to "brag." You have to tell all of the good things. If you won the spelling bee when you were 12. Tell us! We have enjoyed getting to know everyone PLUS it makes us realize all of the many good things in our lives. I'm not sure about my talent BUT I do have lots of gifts - hospitality being one of them.
ReplyDeleteIt's great to see you visiting here, Lisa. Thank you so much. Please call again soon and often; and invite your friends.
DeleteIt's a great idea to encourage people to share and talk about their God-given talents. He has gifted all of us with various abilities to be used in His Praise and Glory.
God bless you and yours.
...I think that your actions should say something good about yourself, not your words. Yep, time flies.
ReplyDeleteTrue what you say Tom. Actions not words. There's too many pesky flies around!
DeleteGod bless.
I love llamas! And llamas love me. I mean, I think they would if I knew any.
ReplyDeleteWhat has a llama got to do with this post about talents?
DeleteGod bless, Sandi.
:)
DeleteI think it is a talent.
Yes; I never thought of that. Llama is a talent.
DeleteGod bless always, Sandi.
God generously gave me a talent for writing, and I think I'm pretty darned good at it, if I say so myself. Thanks for encouraging us to share honestly here, Victor. God bless!
ReplyDeleteWe should accept our talents as gifts from God to be used at His service. Thank you for yours, Martha.
DeleteGod bless always.
The first thing that popped in my head -- I believe I'm a careful listener. A trusted confidante, if necessary.
ReplyDeleteThank you for asking!
That's a very worthy talent Mevely. Often, people need someone to listen to and to be on hand when they're confused. God has given you a great gift. God bless.
DeleteI have taken photos ever since I was a teenager and feel I have a good eye for it. I take photos that appeal to me and that makes it fun regardless what people think.
ReplyDeleteYes, your photos record history in an ever changing world. Often a photo of a High Street or a building will be totally different in years to come.
DeleteGod bless, Bill.
My talent is one for serving and encouraging others.
ReplyDeleteAmen K. God bless you.
DeleteI've always been a good listener.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
Listening is so important; and so difficult.
DeleteGod bless, Jan.
