Your Talent is Your Gift from God

 

I was watching the show ER on June 20, 2022 with my hubby during our suppertime show the other day, when we heard a really good quote from the character, Dr. Benton’s mother, which she said on S1 E:21 at watch time 37min.

"Your talent is your gift from God, what you do with it, is your gift to Him."

When we heard that, both of us were in awe of what she said.  We paused it, so I could take a minute to write that quote down, as I wanted to remember it, as well as write a post about it.

I always felt like our talents were gifts from God, but I hadn’t thought about how a gift back to Him would be what you do with it.

For me I found that my talent/gift is writing as well as encouraging people.  The cool thing is, without me realizing it, my blog became both of those things.  I can’t help but praise and talk about Elohim (God) here as He’s a big part of this, so I’m glad I can give back to Him in that regard here :).

I think that God also gave us different talents and gifts so that we could help each other out.  Of course, it would be awesome if each of us had all the knowledge in the world to be able to do anything, but then we wouldn’t have to rely on Him or anyone else for that matter.

I think it would become a lonely world pretty quickly, if we only looked to ourselves for everything.  It is important to be able to be self-sufficient and independent, so you can take care of yourself, but there isn’t a lot of love in keeping everything to ourselves.

I found that the more we give of ourselves to others, the more we received that type of love back.  That’s what’s Elohim (God) is about.  He wants us to follow His ways, so He can help guide us in His Love and Peace so we can become the best people that we can be.

He knows what our destiny is, but He also knows that we have free will, and that we can choose what path we decide to take.  Often when we stray away from the gifts and destiny that He wants for us, our struggles in life become more difficult.

It’s not to say that if we are on the right pathway that we won’t have troubles, but with Him there will be more of His Love and Peace, which will help us manage it better.

He doesn’t expect us to be perfect, but He hopes that the more we follow Him, and doing so will make it easier to help your will to want to choose the right pathway.

I imagine He wanted our talents to be gifts to us, to others and to Him, so that it can become an exciting, passionate part of our lives, instead of a hum drum, I have to get up for work everyday dread type of life.

As you think of Him and others through your talents, it will not only be a gift to yourself, but to everyone else around you.

James 1:17   Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.

 

Here’s a song about that everything is alright, and it’s a wonderful life and beautiful right now, and it’s so good to be alive because Elohim (God) has given us this life.
