O: The development and use of our gift glorifies God, this is the return He expects on his investment in us. When you start the process of developing your gift, there is much to be gained beside the advancement of the talent itself. By putting the talent to work you gain experience, enhance your skill, build relationships, and the talent appreciates in value. When you start to develop and grow you also quickly learn the principles that govern growth; these are the power of focus, discipline, tenacity and consistency. Take for example an 11 year old boy who committed to becoming a great pianist. In taking lessons, attending concerts and studying successful musicians on the journey to becoming proficient, he realised the value of these principles and how they are of great benefit to his journey. The level of benefit others can receive from your gift is determined by your development of your gift. The truth is that most, if not all want to be a product of or produce quality and it will take the investment of time and money to make this happen.
