“Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms.” 1 Peter 4:10
I am amazed at how the multitude of volunteers with Trinity HOPE can accomplish so much when they work together to bring a hot, nutritious, noon meal to over 52,000 Haitian children daily…while Haiti and our country are both facing some really nasty and formidable challenges. When we all use our abilities, here in the US and also in Haiti to help each other, God is glorified. God wired you to make a special contribution during your time here on this side of Heaven. He didn’t give you talents and abilities for your benefit alone. They are for the benefit of other people, and, in turn, other people’s talents are for your benefit...and His Glory.
Everybody has different talents. You have talents too. How are you using them to bless others? If you’re not, when are you going to start? When you don’t use the talent God gave you, other people get cheated. But when you use your talent and abilities to serve others, they’re blessed, and God is glorified. Our days are numbered, another week has past and a new one has begun. Where can your time, talents and treasured be used this week to bring Him all the Glory?
Heavenly Father, you have called your servants to ventures of which we cannot see the ending, by paths as yet untrodden, through perils unknown. Give us faith to go out with good courage, not knowing where we go but only that your hand is leading us and your love supporting us through Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior. Amen.
May God be with you…Jay
