( picture paints a thousand words ) |
It is very easy to find something that we don't have and want it. But we sometimes have no idea how much we already have. How much God has already given us and blessed us with if only we would take a good look at it and find out ways to use it to serve others or make the world a better place.
I do not want to waste a single day. If i have been given any gifts or talent or any material blessing i want to use it, to work on it, to keep at it. And i do believe i am called to make things, so to make things that bring some heavenly light.
I feel that at times i am afraid to do something big, or create something too beautiful in the fear of that it will be lost, destroyed, or something bad will happen to it. But then again, how wasteful would it be if i did not even build up the courage, the determination to do it. To just do it. I guess its just like the parable of the talent where there is this servant who was afraid that His Master would be harsh that he just hid his talent, did not make one single use of it. And in the end, he was called lazy and wicked. One lesson we can learn from this is that, it does take a measure of faith to just use what talent you have, to trust that when God gives you the ability and talent, He expects you to use it. To work with all your heart. To trust Him and only give your best each day. No excuses, off being too tired, too busy, too afraid. But to just use it, and do it!
The path less traveled is one i have taken, and yes sometimes it scares me, how my future would hold, how i am going to support myself and provide and be all sufficient and have enough. And i do not know why there is a strong hope in me telling me everything will turn out fine. I just have to keep going, doing what i do best, and I will never lack. He will make sure, i will have sufficiently enough and more so to be able to give to others too.
Each year i feel that i am learning a whole new lesson. And this year is one of generosity. Of servitude. Of Giving. ( and of course throughout the journey i am still super imperfect, who is perfect anyway )
Tonight i have to get to work on some pattern pieces. I am a little tired now, but will start at it after dinner around 8.30pm - 12am (3 hours ) And tomorrow morning another one from 8.30am till i leave to train at 10.30am
"25 “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? 26 Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? 27 Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life[e]?
28 “And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. 29 Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. 30 If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you—you of little faith? 31 So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32 For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. 33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." Matthew 6:25-34
I will stand on His Word.
I will stand on His Word.
