Read about It
Read: 1 Peter 4:7–11
What are some things that you are really, really good at? Maybe it’s drawing, sports, encouraging people, or cooking. We all have abilities that sometimes are referred to as gifts or talents. These are things we’re really good at. Did you know that God can give you gifts too? You should use those gifts and talents to help serve others.
The Bible says we should use whatever talent or gift we have been given to serve other people. We should serve others not because we have to, but because we get to. We can serve others with a heart that shows them God’s love.
