“Do not give dogs what is sacred; do not throw your pearls to pigs. If you do, they may trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces.”
God has given each of us gifts and talents He wants us to use wisely. Some people actively use their gifts, but not as Christ intended. The pimp you pass on the way to church who’s able to direct people into unmentionable actions could be one of the greatest evangelists God’s kingdom needs. The drug dealer who controls his inventory and flow of income could be the trustee your ministry needs to reach your church’s building fund goal.
The gift God gave you is sacred and shouldn’t be used to advance the world’s agenda, but Christ’s agenda. Be careful not to invest your gift or yourself where it could be trampled, turned on, and torn to pieces. Instead, use your gift wisely for kingdom building and watch God make your life flourish along with those around you who choose to achieve Christ’s agenda.
Your gift has always been in you

Heavenly Father, I will not waste my gift by giving it to dogs or by throwing it to pigs. I will use my gift to grow Your kingdom. It is You who will keep me safe from being trampled, turned on, or torn into pieces. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
This is my prayer
