I used to think I was decent at writing until this year. I took a Writer's Craft course during first semester and I explored all different styles of writing. Through that course, I discovered that I wasn't good at poetry, script writing, articles, novels, and children stories. This really bummed me out. I concluded that I had fooled myself into thinking that I had any talent in writing.
However, writing doesn't just come in those styles. Those are just the more popular forms of writing. This year I had started writing daily devotionals on a verse that touched me that day to approximately 50 people on my contact list. I never really associated writing devotions with writing until just this morning! I began to get responses from my contacts about how the verse touched them and impacted them that day and I discovered that I loved doing it!
You may not be a talented singer, artist, athlete, or writer, but you do have talents; they just might come as discretely as my devotional writing.
Even if you're good at listening...that's a rare talent nowdays! Use that for God! Writing poetry or novels or children's books may not have had the same impact as my devotions. But I used my unknown talents of writing to praise and glorify God daily! Figure out your small talent and use it to bless the Lord.
If you are talented in the large ways, don't use it for yourself, but in everything give thanks to God using that talent. God has given us talents and spiritual gifts. Who says that your spiritual gift is the only way to glorify God? Your God-given talents are also there to add to your work for Christ.
