Talent

Use what talents you possess. The woods would be very silent if no birds sang there except those that sang best. (Henry Van Dyke, 19th-20th century American educator)

A music director told one of his choir members, “If I had to lose one member of the choir, it would be you.” It was understood to be said in jest, the point being that even the least talented member is essential to the performance of the group. Don’t hide your talent simply because you’re not the most gifted. You are important; work to improve, but don’t stop singing.

God has given each of you a gift from his great variety of spiritual gifts. Use them well to serve one another (1 Peter 4:10).
