Love this picture and I fully agree. It's the same thing with the talents God has gifted us with. Nobody is without talent.. God made sure that each one would be equipped and able for his or her long life journey on earth. We have it but isn't it strange that some of us can't quite make up our minds what to do with it or how. We seem to be confused.
You see, this we call life -- it's not so much about us really although it seems to be ..... rather it's all about the love of our Father. And this love HE wants us to image or reflect to one another, with one another.
How we do this is all up to us. He has provided, now we must do our part. Talents, resources ..... it's all there for our taking, for our use. So then we are also given the chance to take care of our talents, of our selves (nurturing, education, trainings, opportunities, experiences, etc.) because doing so molds or hones us to become the best person we can ever be. Thus more ready to love well and better or best.
I understand that there is far more that we should be doing that does not have to refer to us (our beauty, intelligence, brilliance and the like) -- but one which will serve as our gate pass to the eternal kingdom. That's what we all should know in our hearts .. no matter what our minds tell us otherwise.
We have our mission order from the Most High ---- to reflect the love of our Father for all of his creation.... man, animal, living and non-living, good and bad, beautiful, ugly, rich or poor, etc.
But we must and truly must learn how to use our talents and resources for good drawing grace and guidance from the words of our Father.....
John 15:12
New International Version (NIV)
12 My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you.
