There is something crazy inspiring about watching someone openly share their talent. I absolutely love it!<\/p>\n<p>One of the things that reminds me most of the fact that our talents are God-given is watching children who have incredible talent as such a young age. Watching that there is no denying that God sent them to this earth with inherent talents!<\/p>\n<p>There is an amazing television show called Little Big Shots which showcases the talents of young people. If you haven\u2019t watched it yet I highly recommend it. The talent of these kids will seriously inspire you. Check out this clip of a 12 year old girl from the Philippians and you will understand exactly what I mean:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Jyrb3IExfOk\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>WOW!
