ability

hey y'all!
today...i pretty much did absolutely nothing. i lazed around the house, watched a movie, read a book, talked to candace for a little while. called mitchell a few times to see how hes doin' but he must be away from his phone or sleepin' cause i havent talked to him, so idk if hes still real sick or not. hopefully hes better. and then i went to dance. and came home. and now im writin on here.
so i did my devotion on the abilities God has given you to use for him.
1 Corinthians 7:7 says, "Each one has his own gift from God, one in this manner and another in that." (NKJV) God has given each & everyone of us a special gift, or talent, to use for his glory. so think about the things you do well, are you using them?
1 Timothy 4:14 says, "Do not neglect your gift, which was given you..." so this goes back to my last question. say you know what your gift is. are you using it? we shouldnt neglect the wonderful gifts God has given us. we also should not use them to go against God, we need to use our gifts wisely and to glorify God. like me, i sing. God gave me this talent to glorify him. so if i went and sang songs with bad lyrics, that God would not approve of, would i be using my gift to glorify him? no. i'd be doing the exact opposite. so use your gift to show others how wonderful your Creator is.
1 Peter 4:10 says, "Each one should use whatever gift he has recieved to serve others, faithfully administering God's grace in its various forms." so. adding on to what i just was saying. dont just use your gift, use it for God. use it to serve others. use it to show the world God is great. humble yourself and use your gift for other people, not for personal gain.
so the question here is...God gave you a gift. are you using it? and more importantly, are you using it for God's glory?
i love y'all!
God Bless!
