Read it on
There once was a woman who longed to have a flower garden. Each year, she would visit her neighbour who had the most beautiful garden she had ever seen, and he would give her cuttings and seeds for her own garden.
But when she would return home, she would change her mind at the last minute saying, "But my neighbour's garden is so much lovelier than anything I can hope to grow. And he knows so much more about gardening - I could never hope to grow a garden half so lovely as that. Why should I even try?"
One day, her neighbour stopped by her home and saw that she had not one flower growing anywhere around her house
"I've provided you with so much," he said, "and yet you have done nothing at all with what I have given you!"
And so it is with each of us. The Lord gives us talents and expects us to develop them. We cannot judge out worth by comparing ourselves to others, but must bloom and grow the best we can with what we have been given.
To believers of Jesus, have you used what the Lord had given you all these while. All these times, as His faithfulness increase in your life, have you grow to be more like Christ each day? Have you gave the best you can for God? Is not just about God transforming you these days but also more of how God can use you to transform the life of others. Pray that God's hands will never be too short to bless you more today as you promised to give Him the best you can to glorify His name.
To pre-believers, I just want to share that everyone of us is made for a purpose. We are not here because we are "accidents" of our parents' act. Believe we all have great talents in areas of our life. Never admit defeat until you try it yourself. Running the race ahead is tough, yet when you carry a heart of belief that you are here for good, you will realise all that you do is worth it. Not for recognition but for success you'd made it.
Believe that we are all here for a purpose and believe we are all make good. Everyone of us plays a part in everyone's life. So treasure it. :)
