Let's Talk About...How to Use Your TalentsSample

Sometimes you may look at the way God made you and think negatively about it. Whether it’s your body, your ability to do something, or maybe your lack of ability to do something, we can easily wish that something was different from our story. If that’s you, James would look right at you and say, “But God made you on purpose and for a purpose. And everything he made is good.” Starting to see yourself as wonderfully and beautifully made (Psalm 139:14) gives you confidence, but it also gives you a better picture of God’s character. He doesn’t make mistakes, and he didn’t make a mistake with you. Your life is a gift, and it’s one given by your trustworthy God in Heaven. Today, say a quick prayer of gratitude for how he made you. If that’s difficult, ask the Holy Spirit to help you find the words!
