Proverbs 18:16

Proverbs 18:16

Little Bible — for children and parents · Growth Figures · © Growth Figures. All rights reserved.

A gift used well — whether a skill, a talent, or a literal gift of generosity — creates opportunity and opens access to places and people otherwise unreachable. This proverb recognises that faithfulness in developing what God has given us has real-world results. It is an encouragement to steward gifts rather than hide them.

Memory phrase: Your gift opens doors.

Talk about it: What gift has God given you that you can use for others?

Prayer: God, help me use my gifts well for Your glory.
