Positively Good Productions

1 Corinthians 12:7-11New International Version (NIV)

7 Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given

for the common good. 8 To one there is given through the 

Spirit a message of wisdom, to another a message of 

knowledge by means of the same Spirit, 9 to another faith 

by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by that one 

Spirit, 10 to another miraculous powers, to another 

prophecy, to another distinguishing between spirits, to 

another speaking in different kinds of tongues,[a] and to 

still another the interpretation of tongues.[b] 11 All these 

are the work of one and the same Spirit, and he distributes 

them to each one, just as he determines.

Each of us are unique individual 

personalities with a true purpose… 

a reason for being.

Every being entered into 

the earth realm

with a God-given purpose.

Each of us is blessed

 to have a unique set of skills 

and talents

given to us by God.

It’s  important for us to remember that 

our God-given talents 

may be so natural to us...

that we do not identify it or them as a talent or talents.

Not everyone will be a musician, singer, dancer, 

or athlete. But let's be clear...

that doesn’t mean that we have been slighted 

or our talent is less important than someone else’s.

Some may really enjoy teaching adults, building, painting, 

nursing, auto mechanics, shoe repair, technology, cooking,

housekeeping, firefighting, organizing, 

listening to and encouraging other people, 

or landscaping.

Some of these may not sound 

like talents, but they are! 

If we enjoy doing these things and we are good at them,

and we can use them to help and bless God’s people, 

then, it’s a God-given talent!
