God Grants Everyone With A Talent

“Your talent is God’s gift to you, what you do with it is your gift back to God.”

Talents. When you think of them you usually think a beautiful singing voice, an athletic ability, or playing an instrument seamlessly, etc. Many times, if we are not blessed with the God-given ability to play a sport or sing on key, then we believe that God skipped out on us and left us with no talent at all. However, that is certainly not true. God blesses each and every one of us with a talent. However, it may not be what our perception of what a talent is. The talent that He has blessed you with may be that you are a good leader or encourager; it may be that you are a good listener or teacher; it may be that you have been given a servants heart or a creative mind. Whatever the gift may be, He blesses you with it in order to serve Him.

“As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God's varied grace”- 1 Peter 4:10

God blesses us with a special gift in order to serve Him and to serve each other as well. It is so important as Christians to use our gift in order to show our heart for God. One of my gifts is to share God’s love to others through writing, but I had no idea that this was one of my talents until God opened my heart to it several months ago. I was anxious to pursue writing Godly articles due to insecurities and doubt, but I knew that it was God’s plan for me. God will show you over and over again what your talents truly are. Do not doubt yourself because of failure or perfectionism that the enemy wants you to believe. The enemy wants you to believe that you are not good enough because he does not want you to use your talents to serve God.

Your talent should radiate God’s light and show others how great our God truly is. Not only can your talent change others’ lives, but it changes yours as well. Because God has hand-picked your talent especially for you, that gift becomes your passion. It can become your hobby or even your profession. It is something so special and important to you because it has God’s hand placed on it. By using your talent to serve God, your talent is that much more special in your life. Not only will you be influenced by serving God with your talent but others will be too.

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
