What are you really good at? Maybe you’re great at drawing, or making people laugh, or being a good friend, or running fast, or helping others feel better when they’re sad. Everybody is good at something different, and that’s exactly how God planned it!

The Bible says that when the Holy Spirit came to live in your heart, He gave you a special “spiritual gift.” That’s a special ability to help others and serve God in your own unique way.

Think about it like a soccer team. Not everyone can be the goalie, and not everyone can be the striker. The team needs different players doing different jobs to win. If everyone tried to do the exact same thing, the team would be a mess! God’s family is the same. He gave everyone different gifts so we can work together.

How do you find out your gift? Pay attention to what you love doing for God and others, and what seems to go really well when you do it. Then put it to work! Your gift isn’t just for you. It’s a present from God that you get to use to bless others.

Take Action: Go on a gift hunt this week! Ask a parent or trusted grown-up, “What do you think I’m really good at?” Their answer might point to one of your gifts. Then think of one way to use that gift to help someone. If you’re funny, cheer someone up. If you’re helpful, lend a hand. If you’re a good friend, sit with someone who’s alone. Ask God to show you your gift, and then put it to work for Him!
