We all have God given talents – things that we are good at, and things that make us feel alive and energised. God has given us talents and gifts for the benefit of the community that is the local church. He calls us to use the talent He has given us. How are we using those talents and skills? Are we using them for our own benefit and for that of our immediate family, or are we using them for the benefit of others? Are we doing what we can with what we have or are we keeping things to ourselves? Are we serving generously or do we resent giving of our time and skills? As we all exercise the talents and gifts that God has given us, He will build His church to become the beacon of light and hope that the world so desperately needs.
