What will you do with your gift?

1 Peter 4:10 – As each one has received a gift, minister it to one another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.

The scriptures reveal that God gave each of us gifts, talents or abilities that can help and bless mankind. Each of us have a grace upon us that when properly used, can benefit us, our family, and our community. God holds us accountable for how we use these gifts. Many people are selfish, and only use their gifts for their own purposes and benefit, and do not care about anybody else. Remember this, God is pleased when you use your gifts to help and bless others. It doesn’t make a difference if others are capable of doing more than you. God will only hold you accountable for what you do, or don’t do. The only time you see God displeased is when He sees those that refuse to help or bless others with the gifts that He gave them. The Lord says this to those who share their gifts with others: “Good and faithful servant; You were faithful in a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.’
