Have you ever looked at another person’s talents, gifts, and ministry; desiring to have the same in your life? Many times we see others doing so many great and wonderful things with their life, and because we are so impressed, we pursue the same things in our life. However we find one vital element is missing; the talent, the gift, and the calling. It’s easy to want a gift that someone else has, but in coveting others gifts are we neglecting our own calling in the meant time?

1 Timothy says not to neglect the gift that is in you

Ephesians 2:10 says that we are Gods workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works which God prepared in advance for us to do.

So listen, I encourage you to take a good hard look at yourselves in the mirror, and spend some time in your prayer closet recognizing the gifts, talents, and calling that God has on your life, and you’ll see that you don’t have to use another’s gifts to be pleasing to the Lord, and to bless His heart. But God has created you with purpose, and talent of your own; so go live it out loud.
