There is something powerful about knowing you were created on purpose and for a purpose. The truth is, you are not ordinary, you are a divine masterpiece carrying God’s extraordinary deposits within you and it is time to unleash your talent.
Every single one of us is a unique expression of God’s creativity. You are not random, not empty but loaded with divine potential!
God never creates anyone without talent. That means you are gifted, whether your experience agrees or not.
Our talents are more than just skills, they are expressions of God’s divinity through us. That’s why the Bible refers to them as gifts. They are unearned, freely given, and meant to bless the world. But sometimes, we discount these gifts because they come so naturally. We think, “This can’t be special.”
Unleash your talent, because God has placed rich deposits inside of you to influence lives, shift systems, and create change. Ephesians 4:7 (Easy) says, “Christ has given each one of us a special gift.” You are no exception.
Even when you feel stuck, dry, or overlooked—don’t let your experience lie to you. Don’t let people’s opinions define you. And don’t bury your gift. Unleash your talent and let it speak for you. Your gift will make room for you. (Proverbs 18:16)
God told Moses in Exodus 4:1–4 to use what was in his hand—a simple staff that later became a tool for miracles. In the same way, what God will use to elevate you is already within and around you. You just need to recognize it.
So how do you identify your gifts?
-
Pray. God knows what He put inside of you.
-
Reflect. What did you love doing as a child? What energizes you? What do people always compliment you on?
-
Ask others. Sometimes people see your gift before you do.
-
Take assessments. Tools like Daystar Academy’s discovery tests can help.
-
Experiment. Serve. Try new roles. Follow your passion and observe where you thrive.
So, if you have ever felt like you’re not good enough or that you lack something special, that is a lie from the pit of doubt. The truth is, you are not empty—you are loaded with divine potential.
You are not talentless or overlooked but gifted, called, and anointed.
Say it out loud: “I will not bury my gift. I will unleash my talent. I am a blessing in motion!”
