40 Things to Give Up for a Better Life
#4 Devaluing my talents
God created each of us with unique abilities, and He wants to use us. Every time I read these chapters in Exodus, it makes me smile. God values the artist. There is a place for me (and you) to be useful in his plan, whether I am writing, drawing, knitting or crocheting.
What talents do you have? God gave them to you. Use them with confidence.
