You weren’t made by accident.
You weren’t gifted by chance.
God placed something in you—not for your own spotlight, but for His glory.
You have abilities, talents, and strengths that were divinely placed in your life.
But here’s the question: Are you using them for Him?
1. Every Gift Comes from God
Whether you’re great at encouraging others, teaching, building, leading, cooking, organizing, or even just listening—it came from above.
“Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights…”
—James 1:17 (KJV)
Your abilities are not random. They’re resources—heaven-sent tools to bring hope, help, and healing to others in Jesus’ name.
2. God Can Use Ordinary People to Do Extraordinary Things
You don’t have to be the best speaker, singer, or leader in the room. You just have to be willing.
Remember Moses? He tried to tell God he wasn’t good with words.
God didn’t ask him to be eloquent—just obedient.
“And the Lord said unto him, Who hath made man’s mouth?… have not I the Lord?”
—Exodus 4:11 (KJV)
When you give God what you have—He adds what you lack.
3. Use What You Have, Right Where You Are
You don’t need a stage to serve. You don’t need a title to make an impact.
You just need a heart that says, “Here I am, Lord—use me.”
“And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men.”
—Colossians 3:23 (KJV)
That smile you offer? That meal you prepare? That word of encouragement you speak?
That’s ministry.
And God sees it.
4. Your Purpose Is Bigger Than Your Platform
It’s easy to think serving God means doing something big and public.
But God values faithfulness over fame. Quiet obedience over loud applause.
“It is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful.”
—1 Corinthians 4:2 (KJV)
Be faithful with what He’s given you. Big or small—it all matters in His kingdom.
5. When You Serve Others, You’re Serving Christ
Jesus said something powerful that changes the way we look at our daily lives:
“Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.”
—Matthew 25:40 (KJV)
Helping a neighbor. Praying for a friend. Volunteering at church.
It’s not just service—it’s worship.
You Were Made for This
You don’t need to look around and wish for someone else’s gift.
Yours is enough—because God gave it to you on purpose.
So sing your song.
Write your story.
Build, lead, teach, serve, and love.
Just do it all for Him.
“Neglect not the gift that is in thee…”
—1 Timothy 4:14 (KJV)
Because when you put your abilities in God’s hands, He multiplies the impact.
And one day, you’ll hear those beautiful words:
“Well done, thou good and faithful servant…”
—Matthew 25:21 (KJV)
