Gifts & Talents

As I am going about my daily routines and preparing for work I was wondering if I am using the skills and talents God has given me. I began to talk with God, asking Him if I am following his path or just earning a paycheck. Are we doing what God wants from us? It is easy and effortless to continue on a path that is comfortable. I am like many people and struggle when pushed outside my box. When we are led in a direction that seems up hill and demanding do we look toward God and Jesus Christ to ease the burden or self doubt? Although it may seem like we are alone, all we have to do is reach out and God will intervene in our struggles as we continue with prayer. Our Savior understands our problems and difficulties as well as He knows our skills and talents. Our Lord will not take us to a place or predicament that He will not lovingly and gently encourage success. As we begin our week I pray that we look beyond our every day lives and question ourselves. Are we marching in place rather than going out and using the skills and talents God has given us? Allow God to keep negative thoughts, fears or self doubt at our backs. Permit yourself to soar and rejoice with the possibilities that are before you this day…if you are given an opportunity get out of the box and challenge yourself. We are blessed as Christians to show the world the miracles of God and Jesus Christ through our courage, strength and perseverance of modeling a Christian life. Ephesians 1:3 Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ. With Love and Devotion Thank the Lord for our abilities and strengths. Smiles & Blessings, Cynthia Collins Kaitfors
