Reflect
In this episode, Liz and the gang learn to celebrate that everybody’s good at something. 1 Peter 4:10 says “God's gifts of grace come in many forms. Each of you has received a gift in order to serve others. You should use it faithfully”. The Bible tells you that you are gifted, whether you believe it or not. Many Christians have not discovered their spiritual gift. What about you? The Bible tells us that God has given spiritual gifts to you. God meant for you to work and to carry out his work in the world. When you use your gift in ways that bless others, God's kingdom work is done.

Pray and ask God to show you how he has gifted you, and how he wants you to develop and use your talents for him and for others. Choose one (or more!) of your talents, and find a way to bless someone with them!
