Do you know the things you love doing? Start figuring out ways to express those abilities in your everyday life. Grab hold of your natural abilities and aim them high for God's glory!Discussion Questions1. What Characterizes an Activity You Love?What characterizes an activity you love to do? Offer one or two top qualifications.2. Deposits of LoveTalk about ways each of us can make deposits of love throughout a typical day, no matter what we are specializing inat the moment.3. The Parable of the TalentsThink about the parable of the talents in Matthew 25:14–30. Why does it matter that we make the most of our abilitiesnow? What could be the harm in putting them off or neglecting them?4. Something You No Longer DoShare with the group something you know you do well, but that you no longer do at all. Why did you stop doing it? Isthere a way you could include it again in your lifestyle? Ask the group to pray for you to find that answer.5.
