God has given us many gifts, including our mind, intelligence, free will, spiritual awareness, love, wisdom, and the ability to recognise truth. These gifts are intended to help us grow spiritually, understand God’s purpose, and live in harmony with His divine principles. However, when we misuse these gifts, we can gradually lose sight of the truth they were intended to help us discover. Misusing God’s gifts does not necessarily mean we deliberately turn against Him. Sometimes, it happens because we allow pride, fear, selfishness, greed, or the desire for personal power to influence our thinking and decisions. When we use our intelligence to manipulate others rather than help them, or our spiritual understanding to control rather than guide, we are no longer using these gifts in harmony with their intended purpose. The gift itself is not the problem. It is how we choose to use it.
