Your talent is not your purpose—it is a tool for expressing it. Many times, people confuse what they are good at with what they are called to do. But talent, in itself, is not the destination; it is the vehicle. Your purpose runs deeper than your skills. It is the reason why you were born, the divine assignment behind your existence. Your talent simply gives you a platform to practice and display that assignment.
For example, if you're gifted in speaking, writing, music, or leadership, those are tools—not the purpose itself. God gave them to you so that through them, His plan for your life can find expression. Your calling is what gives your talent direction. Without purpose, talent becomes noise—loud, impressive, but lacking eternal impact.
I had to learn that being talented doesn't mean I'm automatically walking in purpose. Purpose requires understanding, alignment, and surrender. Talent without purpose can make you famous, but talent aligned with purpose will make you fulfilled. And that’s what matters most.
So I ask you today—are you using your talent for your gain or God’s glory? Are you simply performing, or are you ministering? Until your talent submits to your calling, you’re only scratching the surface of why God placed that gift in your life.

Hope Expression Values you.
