We have all been given different talents, gifts, and abilities. God works in different ways through each of us, and we all serve Him faithfully as we use our gifts to glorify Him. We should use our gifts and abilities to honor God and to bless, encourage and strengthen others in love. We should not neglect our gifts, but instead develop them, “stir them up”, “fan them into flames”… so that they edify of the church to the glory of god. Romans 12:3-11 

“For I say, through the grace given to me, to everyone who is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think soberly, as God has dealt to each one a measure of faith. For as we have many members in one body, but all the members do not have the same function, so we, being many, are one body in Christ, and individually members of one another. Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, let us use them: if prophecy, let us prophesy in proportion to our faith; or ministry, let us use it in our ministering; he who teaches, in teaching; he who exhorts, in exhortation; he who gives, with liberality; he who leads, with diligence; he who shows mercy, with cheerfulness.

Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor what is evil. Cling to what is good. Be kindly, affectionate to one another with brotherly love, in honor giving preference to one another; not lagging in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the lord;”
