In a room full of people no two people are the same.

I always find that so interesting because we are all human, all alive… yet all so different.

But what makes us different?

Besides physical appearance what else could there be? The answer is, our gifts and passions. Your gifts and passions make you who you are, they are skills and abilities that are unique to you alone.

But how did you get these?

Now I know people can teach themselves certain skills, but there are always a few things that we find we are naturally good at.  God hand-picked all of our gifts and talents, He is the reason we are good at what we do. He knows the true potential that is within us all.

It may be hard to believe, but the reason that Jay Z is such a good rapper isn’t just because he has practised, its because he was born with a God-given ability. Another example is Michael Jordan, he is rated as one of the best basketball players of all time, but if God had not given him the skill and ability to play basketball, would we have even heard about him?

So don’t take for granted your gifts, instead be grateful for them because God has entrusted them to you.  Be faithful with them and make sure that you work hard and always strive to better yourself.

In the words of Paul the Apostle in Romans 12:6, “We have different gifts according to the grace given to each of us.”  If God has given you an ability, maximise it.

This is Sam showing us what is possible if you maximise your own personal abilities.
