We were put here to give the world our gift

We were put here to be used but not misused. I think one of the reasons most people don't give their gift to the world is because they have been mistreated by many people. God talks about not taking this in your own hands but letting him handle anyone that mistreats you. Easier said than done, but that's where faith and patience in God comes into play. We should never let anyone bring us down or stop us from letting our light shine. The worlds need our God given gifts.
