We are to give ourselves fully - completely to the work of the Lord: To serve Him with our gifts, talents, and abilities. God has created every person for good works, and He wants you to reach your maximum potential. Whether you are a teacher, student, mother, entrepreneur, or minister, God has a specific plan and purpose for you. 

For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them. (Ephesians 2:10 NKJV)
