If you know that you have been blessed with natural gifts and talents are you sharing them with the world or are you sitting on them? Are you making a difference in the life of someone else or are you waiting for the perfect time to follow your calling? It is important to be aware of the fact that if you are not sharing your gifts and talents with the world then someone is missing out on what you have to share.
There should never be an instance where you are keeping all of your gifts and talents to yourself because you are not being effective for anyone. And you are not even being fair to yourself. You deserve to feel that feeling of fulfillment because you are making a difference, and living out your purpose.
Even if you don't feel confident about sharing your gifts and talents, it is important for you to step out in faith and God will do the rest. If you constantly think about all of the things that could go against you it will never happen. So think about all of the things that you have going in your favor, even if it is just one or two things.
Too many times we keep our gifts and talents hidden from the world, because we don't feel like we have anything important to say or we don't feel like anyone would be interested, but that is just not true. If God has put it in your heart to share your natural gifts and talents then He already has people for you to come in contact with. Don't think that no one wants to hear what you have to say. That can keep you in bondage for years and you may never develop the confidence to share your gifts.
I am guilty of once sitting on my gifts. I knew inside that I had been blessed to make a difference in the world. But I didn't quite know how to make it happen. I prayed and asked God to show me how to use my natural gifts and talents to make a difference, and once I stepped out in faith I never looked back.
When we are blessed to be a blessing. It gives us an internal reward that money could never buy. We have inner peace, joy and happiness because we are not just sitting on our gifts but we are sharing them with others. We are sharing them with people who may feel hopeless, discouraged, frustrated or stuck. Those are the people who need you, they need you to step out in faith and share your gifts with the world. If you don't someone maybe missing a piece of their life fulfillment puzzle, and you may be holding that critical piece.
