These aren’t for our own purposes, they are for service. They are for service - building up the Body of Christ. Our talents aren’t meant to bring us glory, they’re meant to bring God glory through us. How often do we forget this as we do our work. Make sure you remember Who gave you the gifts and talents you have, even the ones you don’t think about.
