An interest or passion helps us to put our talents to good use.
It keeps us from being self-centered, self-serving and self-pitying.
People who are passionate in their interest inspire me the most. They put their heart into doing what they do, making the best of the talents God bequethed to them. I see such beauty in that.
When the bible says that God made us in His image, it is not implying that God has facial features or physical limbs like man does-no; it is referring to the fact that God imparted within us the likeness of His heart, passion and ability to love. I think that is just amazing. That's why God's likeness is translated so well in people who are gifted in what they do!
People who have this passion not only benefit themselves, but they benefit others too. I see this especially through nurses, doctors and even school counsellors.
Most of all, they serve God through the administration of their talents.
God has given each of you a gift from his great variety of spiritual gifts. Use them well to serve one another. 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.
-i peter 4:10-11
What are you gifted in? How have you used it to glorify God?

I like your post Aisha, it's very encouraging! Yeap, i guess it's up to us to discover for ourselves what our talents are and to put them to good use. Well said.
Thanks for sharing! :)
Amen! I have always found your blog posts thoughtful and inspiring. Keep blogging and who knows maybe an unbeliever who stumbles upon your blog might even be convicted in his heart to accept Jesus as his Lord and Saviour :)
