Whether you are aware of it or not, God has blessed everyone with a special and unique talent. Perhaps you already know what it is, or maybe you are not quite sure. If you dig deep enough and pray and listen, it will be revealed to you.
Think of the things you are passionate about. It could be something that is constantly nagging you in the inside. What is it that you have always wanted to do? Is there something that you do that truly brings out the best in you? Something that brings you happiness and joy. Follow your heart. Ask God to let it be known to you. Reach for it, yearn for it, and then live it. We are not here by accident. When God created each of us, he made us with something unique and special in which his intentions were to share it with the rest of the world.
Whatever seed God planted in you, it's up to you to recognize it, nourish it, and be part of the growth process. To actively participate in it and share it, would be pleasing to God. Do you love to sing, write, or paint? Perhaps it brings you great joy to care for other people. Are you good with numbers, or building things? Is there a sport you love to play, or perhaps teach? Maybe selling or marketing is your cup of tea. Do you feel rewarded by talking and listening to others? Do you love being outside? Do you enjoy gardening, or flower arranging? Maybe you enjoy taking care of children, teaching them or playing with them.
In these times of economic hardships, perhaps it would do some people good, by taking a good hard look at what it is they are doing right now and concentrate, reflect, and pray about what it is about their lives that they feel is missing. It's hard to make changes, yet sometimes that is exactly what we may need. God might be trying to tell you something. He may be leading you to an open door, a new opportunity. Something only you can do. He may be inviting you into a new chapter in your life. A new beginning in which your creativity can come alive, be rewarding to you, and inspiring to others. Something that will make a difference in your life and the lives of many others.
Often times, it takes a tragedy to come upon us, in which we realize that God has other plans for us. It is sometimes in our weakest moments, in which we find the strength by Gods grace to rise above it all and think about what direction he wants us to go. Embrace the changes, follow His guide, and He will take you places you never dreamed of.
We are all children of God. He made us unique and special in His own likeness. He has an assignment for each and everyone of us. He has instilled the gifts and talents we need to complete our job and make a difference, and leave our mark in this world for generations that follow. It is our job to pray and ask Him to reveal to us what it is He wants us to do, to honor and serve Him. It is in recognizing our special and unique talents, using them and sharing them in which we will truly be blessed and God will be pleased.

Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit; and there are varieties of service, but the same Lord; and there are varieties of activities, but it is the same God who empowers them all in everyone. 1 Corinthians 12:4-6
