When I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left, and could say, 'I used everything you gave me'.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
There's that saying: 'God gave you talent, and if you don't use it He'll take it away from you.' And I always said, 'I don't want God to come down and take my talents away.' So, by using all these talents and being successful in all of them, I've always got something to fall back on.
Your talent is God's gift to you. What you do with it is your gift back to God.
I feel that God has given me a very special opportunity that I should not let go to waste. I use the gift he has given me.
While I gave up God a long time ago, I never shook the habit of wanting to believe in something. So I replaced my creed of everlasting life with life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
I was blessed with certain gifts and talents and God gave them to me to be the best person I can be and to have a positive impact on other people.
I realised from a very early age that God gave me a gift, and that gift was to run, and I wanted to use it to the best of my ability.
When I gave my life to the Lord, I thought I'd be a preacher.
I was given talent, and if you are given it, it is your obligation to use it.
I worship talents almost. I sinfully dare mourn that I possess them not.
When I work, and in my art, I hold hands with God.
