Rather than being an occasion for pride, being gifted (musically, for instance) actually puts us under an obligation to serve our brothers and sisters...
"[The person with gifts] hath also cause to walk humbly with God, and be little in his own eyes and to remember... that his gifts are not his own, but the church's; and that by them he is made a servant to the church; and he must give at last an account of his stewardship unto the Lord Jesus; and to give a good account, will be a blessed thing."
- John Bunyan: Grace Abounding to the Chief of Sinners.
