God Uses Different Gifts

God uses different gifts; do not despise others than your own. You may not care for music; but God uses music to save, strengthen, enlarge, refine, and comfort souls. You may have no use for pictures, for art; but notwithstanding its misuse, God uses it and has ever used it to enlighten, teach, inspire. You may not like poetry; but God uses the mighty singers of the past, yea, the simple poems, to open to many hearts the gates of Paradise. The awkward, ignorant kindness of the brother by your side may be more potent for God than your conventional, heartless politeness or smooth and elegant speech.
