Our Gift to God

"What we are is God's gift to us. What we become is our gift to God." -Eleanor Powell

I came across this quote a few months ago, and I thought it was so cool, and SO true. The reason we are here is because God put us here. He knit us together in our mother's womb, at just the right time, and in just the right place. Make no mistake people, we are here for a reason! Don't ever think that God made you by mistake; that you were born into the world at the wrong time, or that you have nothing to give to the world. God has given all of us special talents and gifts to give to the world. But, not only do we need to use these gifts in the world, we need to glorify Him while doing it. After all, He is the one who blessed us with families, friends, and a place to live. Why shouldn't we want to give all we have back to Him?

He has blessed us in SO many ways that we normally don't even think about. We have food, plenty of it, we have clean water, transportation, and homes to live in. Did you ever stop to think about the people that only get a meal a day(or less)? The people that have to walk miles just to get one bucket of clean water? The people that don't have access to clean water at all? The people that have to walk everywhere, no matter the distance? The people that sleep on the streets, risking being kidnapped by rebel armies? Most people don't, but YOU can make a difference. YOU can use the gifts and talents that God has given you to bless the world, to make it a better place. You can use your gifts to give people hope by shining His light. Remember that song you sang when you were little? "This little light of mine...I'm gonna let it shine!"
Get out in the world and let your light shine for God!
