What If...Намуна

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. As you meditate on Luke 12:48, think about how God wants you to be a good steward of His gifts. Today's challenge is going to 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

The gifts and passions you possess are often the result of hard work, but at the root are gifts from God. The space and resources to develop your skills aren't an accident. God wants you to use them to help others. For this challenge, make a point of sharpening the gifts God has given you through practice. Each day for a week, spend between 15 and 30 minutes developing a skill or passion you have. At the end of the week, find a way to use what you've worked on to help someone who's hurting.
