YOUR GIFT: The thing you do the best with the least amount effort. Your gift will make room for you and bring you before great men. Prov. 18:16 Stop wasting your time pursuing your passion. A gift is not talent. Everyone has a gift, but not every person recognizes what his or her gift is. Being able to identify it is the key to fulfilling the unique purpose of your life. However, don’t confuse a gift with talent. Anyone can learn a talent, but a gift is something you’re born with. Think of it this way: Any person can take singing lessons to improve their voice? Almost anyone can develop a singing talent...perhaps even enough to make a decent or even lucrative living. But, can just anyone sing like Whitney Houston? No. Whitney’s voice was her gift, and no one else (no matter how many lessons they take and how dedicated they are to furthering their talent) will sing quite like her. If you’re not sure what your gift is, ask yourself these three questions: • What can I do that I’m best at, with little effort on my part? • What is the one thing that other people associate with me? • I’ve listened to others connect this gift with me, so how have I used it?
