What Are Your Gifts?

"Your talent is God's gift to you. What you do with it is your gift back to God." Unknown

 I want to ask you a question today, and I want you to really dig deep and look for the answer. That question is; what are your gifts? What talents has God blessed you with? Now you don't have to answer this right now, take some time to think about it, but what I do want you to do is work on discovering them.
 See, your talents that you have, even the ones that you haven't discovered yet, those are God's gifts to you. But in today's society, I think that we are so programmed to just conform to everybody around us, in our jobs, we conform to those people in that environment, at school we conform to those people, and even your friends around you. See, without even knowing it we are conforming to today's society. But listen, when we do this, when we try to change ourselves to fit in with the others, we are throwing away that gifts that God had given us. We are completely ignoring them. So imagine how God feels.
 So what we need to do, is we need to stop thinking like we have to be like everybody else. We need to stop conforming and start rejoicing in the fact that God has made us who we are! Not only that, but we need to open those gifts, because you know what? It is what we do what those gifts that lets us give a gift back to God. For when He sees us going out and pursuing something that He has placed within us, I just know that He can't help but smile. When He sees us going after something, dreaming about something, or working towards something that He has gifted us with, He rejoices in the fact that we are one step closer to living the amazing life that He has for us.
 So today, I want you to answer the question; what are your gifts, and how are you going to use them?
