really reflect on these questions , because if we don ’ t administer our gifts properly , then others would not experience the benefit , and even suffer the loss , of what God intended for them to receive .
It ’ s nonthreatening to speak of Adolf Hitler , Freddie Mercury , or Whitney Houston . But here is the sobering reality : You and I will also have to give an account of our entrusted gifts when we stand before the Judge . Just like them , our gifts will be seen through the eternal , not the eightyyear perspective . Our gifts will be examined in the light of God ’ s eternal Word that commissions us to build His kingdom . this way .
So regardless of where you find yourself , you can multiply your God-given gifts right where you are ! And that ’ s why I ’ ve written X — in it , I discuss the importance of discovering , developing , and multiplying your gifts . I want to see your faith strengthened to further multiply your Godgiven potential !

Your gift , whether it operates best in healthcare , education , government , athletics , the marketplace , the arts , the media , the home , or any other arena , has a connection to building the kingdom .
