Share your gifts. What is it you do best? Why do others call them gifts? A gift is something special you give to another with no expectation of anything in return. These abilities and talents which you enjoy are God’s gift to you. You could do nothing with them and God would still be most pleased, for your gifts were given to you with no expectation. But gifts, like all things, are meant to be shared for the pleasure and upliftment they bring.

And so, we ask again: What is it you do best? What is it that brings you great joy? How can you use these gifts from God to bring great joy to others? This is where you find your purpose—in expressing your gifts. These treasures need not move mountains or astound others. Your gift may be that you make others smile. Perhaps your gift is in teaching, or perhaps you enjoy creating with your hands, be it food, or art, or beautifully arranged flowers. You know what it is that brings you joy. Bring that aspect of yourself to the forefront and give freely. This is when joy is found and love does abound.
