Matthew 3:16-17 King James Version (KJV) 16 And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him: 17 And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

Do you have the gift of speaking? Then speak as though God himself were speaking through you. Do you have the gift of helping others? Do it with all the strength and energy that God supplies. Then everything you do will bring glory to God through Jesus Christ. All glory and power to him forever and ever! Amen. (NLT) -1 Peter 4:11
You have a gift. You don't think so? As a believer, the Holy Spirit has given you a talent. Don't hide it out of false humility. Instead, use your gift! Are you talented at whipping up a delicious meal from leftovers? What about a hidden gift of writing? Perhaps you have a green thumb. Each of these are gifts you can use to bring glory to God when others experience your gift. Determine what your gift is and share it with others.

Human anger does not produce the righteousness God desires. (NLT) -James 1:20
What is human anger? It's anger that occurs when someone rubs against our pride or selfishness. God still wants us to get angry, but for the right reasons such as the injustice of orphans or widows. Learn to temper your selfish anger. When you feel yourself getting angry because your feelings are hurt, swallow it and focus your mind on something else. Stewing in your anger only produces more anger. Practice refocusing your mind as many times as needed.
