The other night I received a phone call from my daughter. She had experienced a particularly good day selling pharmaceuticals for her company. She then told me how God had truly blessed her! Not everything in her life was going well, but that she was going to make an effort to concentrate on the good things in her life as well as the many blessings she had received.
We agreed that God would be pleased if she used her God-given talents to help others in need. In particular, we spoke about how she might use her contacts to help a particular lady find employment. She has since reached out to this person, and good things are happening.
I was reminded of 1 Peter 4:10. "As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God's varied grace."
Many of us get so caught up with daily trials and tribulations, and forget what wonderful gifts we have been given by God. These same gifts can easily be used to help others.
What God given gifts do you possess? How can they be used to help others?
With a little effort, we can help God change peoples lives for the better!
Reach out and allow God to work through you to help others!
