Each one of us has been blessed with gifts, abilities, strengths. God created us out of His love and our love for God can be expressed best by using the gifts He has given us for good things. The hesitation or fear we sense when we are unsure about things can be very uncomfortable…we must be willing to take time and reflect on times when God has showed up and we were made aware of our gifts. We also need to be sure to be in prayer and not take all our cues about who we are or what we can do from the world as evil and darkness wants us to do very little in relation to what God intended for us. Our Faith is a journey and the best part is God packed our bag full of the right things for us to take on this journey…it is up to us to be sure we talk with Him about it often and use the things God has given us. I pray we all have courage, confidence and trust in the Lord until the day we go home to be with Him. Amen.
“His master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share in your master’s happiness!”
Matthew 25:21
