God has called, gifted and anointed you for your life work. You may ask, how do I know what it is, I am gifted at? How do I know what my calling is? Here is your answer. It is in filling the blank.

God gifted Eric with athletic capabilities. Running not just paid his bills, but also gave him a platform to make the most of God. For he was also, much effective in missions. There is a call of God on your life. God has gifted you to fulfill that call. Use His gift to serve Him. For not only will your needs be met in this life, but also, in the one to come.
