“God has given each of you a gift from his great variety of spiritual gifts. Use them well to serve one another.” 1 Peter 4:10 (NLT)
The Bible says in 1 Peter 4:10, “God has given each of you a gift from his great variety of spiritual gifts. Use them well to serve one another” (NLT). When I use my abilities to help others, God is glorified.
God wired me to make a contribution with my life. He did not give me my talents and abilities for my own benefit. They are for the benefit of other people—and their talents are for my benefit.
I am so grateful for people who are talented in areas that I’m not. Everybody has different talents.
Here’s the point: I've got talents, am I using them to bless others? Am I using them to help others?
When I don’t use the talents God has given me, other people get cheated. The way I bring glory to God is by using my talents. “Use them well to serve one another.” God is glorified when I use my abilities to serve others.
In short, I am blessed to be a blessing. God blesses me so that I can bless the people around me. I need to make it my goal each day to live for God’s kingdom, by his power and for his glory—not thinking about myself but thinking about the people around me.
In summary:
God has uniquely gifted each of us with spiritual talents, not for personal gain, but to serve and bless others—bringing glory to Him in the process. According to 1 Peter 4:10, I am called to use these gifts well, as my abilities are meant to benefit one another. When I fail to use them, others miss out, and God’s purposes through me are hindered. By intentionally using my talents to help those around me, I reflect God's character and fulfill my role in His kingdom. I am blessed not just for myself, but to be a blessing to others—living each day for His glory, not my own.
