At the end of every week, we'll give you a challenge—something to try that might be outside your regular routine. Each challenge is designed to help you develop one important spiritual habit. This week, it's...

USE YOUR GIFTS

God has given all of us unique gifts. Whether it's your skills, talents, character traits, experiences, lessons learned, or even some of the stuff you own, you have a lot you can share with others. Today's challenge will help you think about the gifts God has uniquely given you and how you can use those gifts to love God and others. Because when we use our gifts for God, we grow!

CHALLENGE

This week, we talked about how God can turn wrongs into rights. One way God does this is through people—including you! For this challenge, look for a wrong you can tangibly make right that's unique to you. Are you someone who likes...

• GETTING INVOLVED, EVEN IF IT'S MESSY? Maybe there's a place in your community that needs fixing—a fence that needs painting, an overgrown garden, or garbage that needs to be picked up. Caring for physical spaces is one way to bring order to a chaotic world.
• BEING SURROUNDED BY PEOPLE? There are plenty of people that need friends. Spend time with a group often overlooked or invite someone often left out to join you at lunch or after school.
• CREATING ART? Music, artwork, and dance have a way of sharing a message of restoration with others. You could be someone who uses their voice through art to advocate for others and share stories not often told.
• HELPING BEHIND THE SCENES? Organizations and nonprofits are doing great work to advocate for others and help those who are hurting. You can join what God is already doing by volunteering at one of them.
