In life we're all blessed with abilities, skills and interests- but are we really using them to Gods advantage, are we using them to honor Him?
You may say, well I have nothing I'm good at- so I can't honor Him like this.
Everyone has things they're good at.
For me, it's writing. An interest and skill I enjoy immensely. I not only write poems, and fun stories- I use my abilities to honor and talk about God~like in this blog!
Others have abilities (like you) such as playing hockey, dance, musically talented, they can draw.. etc, the just goes on and on and on!
But for you... what is that one thing you go, "yeah I can honor God with that everyday of my life!"
Romans 12:6-8
Talks about using your abilities to honor God, and knowing that you can do things through and for him in a fun way. Not just on Sundays and at Youth Group. As Christians we're called to do the "impossible", with God- there's no such thing! AMEN.
"6 We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us. If your gift is prophesying, then prophesy in accordance with your faith; 7 if it is serving, then serve; if it is teaching, then teach; 8 if it is to encourage, then give encouragement; if it is giving, then give generously; if it is to lead, do it diligently; if it is to show mercy, do it cheerfully."

He uses us in crazy ways, from an insane testimony- to using your insane piano techniques to bring a girl to Christ- you never know how He'll use you. Just be ready and willing to set your feet where he wants you to walk, and when you're scared- He'll carry you. (
There's a great movie called Facing The Giants, it's about a football team that is so focused on only winning football teams they forget they're even a team!
When there coach (leader) starts to guide them down the right path. They realize that the main idea is to honor God with their ability & love him through their wins and through their losses.
Loving Jesus isn't hard, but living a life He did-is. If we try our best every day and use the little things to help our Christian walk- we will see a change in not only ourselves, but the world around us. Life has never been lived before, you're not always supposed to know what to do. - using your skills is one way you can make a change- & it starts with ONE.
So question, what are you doing to honor God today?
