“Be sure to use the abilities God has given you.—-put these abilities to work–-” 1 Timothy 4:14-15 LB
Just as an athlete will lose his ability when his muscles are not toned because of lack of use, you can lose your spiritual abilities if you do not put them to use.
God expects you to exercise the talent He has given you. Use your ability and it will increase; Fail to use what you have been given and you will lose it.
Paul reminded Timothy, “Kindle afresh the gift that is within you.—” 2 Timothy 1:6.
Don’t settle for just mediocre, stretch yourself to be all you can be in service to God. Your reward is eternal.
Have a blessed day!
In Christian love,
