Drive

We were created with a desire to work, and work hard, at something we believe in. God gives us talents and He expects us to use them. Our talent is the fuel that drives us.

As the apostle Peter wrote: “Each of us have been blessed with God’s many wonderful gifts to be used in the service of others. So use your gift well" 1 Peter 4:10 (CEV).

God will often say “yes” to your dreams, but you’ll be happier if you say “yes” to His.
