IT'S WHO YOU ARE, NOT WHAT YOU'VE GOT

The Bible tells us that the gifts of God are without repentance. This simply means that God doesn't take back the natural abilities He has given you even when you refuse to use them for His purposes.
Although people "glory" in their own gifts all the time, the real glory comes when you give them back to God. This takes character. I don't believe character is a gift. Character comes when man decides to obey God, do the right thing, and follow God's purposes instead of his own.

CHARACTER IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN TALENT.
Character doesn't come natural like talent. It is forged in the decision making of a man. Quality decisions make a quality man. When you take the talent God has gifted you and mix it with character, you maximize your life. That's what defines you: what you do with what you've got.
