"But you are the ones chosen by God, chosen for a high calling of priestly work, chosen to be a holy people, God's instruments to do His work and speak out for Him, to tell others of the night and day difference He has made for you-from nothing to something, from rejected to accepted." 1 Peter 2:9-10

Talents/ praise

God has given each and everyone of us talents to serve Him. Whether its singing, dancing, praying,cooking, or playing a certain sport; you can (need) to use those talents to serve the Lord. In fact, the Lord ask us to use our talents to worship and bring glory to Him. I know with me personally God has has given me the ability and desire to dance. I don't care what I'm doing I just want to dance-dance all the time! The Lord has a great plan for your life and most likely His plans for you include your talents. You can show His love through your talents. People will see something different about you. They will wonder whats wrong with you? (In a good way- haha) Our talents can bring the Lord praise. I have a question to ask you. Are  you bringing the Lord praise in everything you do? Are you giving Him glory and not yourself? Here are a few verses about this: Since we are eager to have spiritual gifts, try to excel in gifts that build up the church.1 Corinthians 14:12, We have different gifts, according to the grace given us. If a man’s gift is prophesying, let him use it in proportion to his faith. If it is serving, let him serve; if it is teaching, let him teach; if it is encouraging, let him encourage; if it is contributing to the needs of others, let him give generously; if it is leadership, let him govern diligently; if it is showing mercy, let him do it cheerfully.Romans 12:6-8.  So, use your talents to serve the Lord and bring glory to Him. Don't try to satisfy others with your talents- only the Lord. Glorify and praise Him in everything you do!
