3. Think about a time when you felt particularly fulfilled or proud of an accomplishment. What strengths or skills did you use in that moment? Reflect on how these might be part of God’s plan for you, as stated in Philippians 2:13, “For it is God who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfill his good purpose.”
4. Consider your dreams and aspirations. What do you dream of achieving, and how might these dreams align with your God-given talents? Reflect on Proverbs 16:3, which says, “Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and he will establish your plans.” How can you commit your dreams to God?
5. Evaluate how your skills and talents can be used in your community or church. What are some specific ways you can serve others using what you’re good at? Reflect on Galatians 5:13, which encourages us to “serve one another humbly in love.”
6. Reflect on a person you admire for their talents or achievements. How do their gifts inspire you, and how can you use your own unique abilities to serve others in a similar way? Consider Hebrews 13:7, which says, “Remember your leaders, who spoke the word of God to you. Consider the outcome of their way of life and imitate their faith.”
7. Identify any obstacles or doubts you have about pursuing your talents or passions. How can you overcome these challenges while trusting in God’s plan for you? Reflect on Isaiah 41:10, which says, “So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you.”
8. Think about how your passions and talents can be used to address a need in your community or church. What are some creative ways you can use your gifts to make a difference? Reflect on 1 John 3:18, which says, “Dear children, let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth.”
9. Reflect on how you have grown or changed as you’ve pursued your interests and talents. How have these experiences shaped your understanding of your purpose?
