You are a gift from God to this world! Dear child of God, God, our Heavenly Father, gave His Son Jesus Christ as a gift to this world so that we might be saved and enjoy the full potential that the Father had deposited in His Son. Jesus used every bit of those gifts to the benefit of mankind in His walk on earth, and for that we praise, worship and honour Him. The Holy Spirit simply deposited the following thought in my spirit that is so amazing and meaningful, that it astounded me. Do you realise that God, in the same way, by means of personal gifts (talents), He gave each and every one of us to this world in a unique way so that others, as well as ourselves, may benefit from it to God’s ultimate glory? (I know that there are other aspects relating to this subject.) But think about the following! Love ~ Uncle Jacques. • The precious gifts from God, may still be locked up within our hearts. Precious, pure and true; ready to be used, if we do not refuse! Matthew 25:14 – 17 "For the kingdom of heaven is like a man travelling to a far country, who called his own servants and delivered his goods to them. And to one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one, to each according to his own ability; and immediately he went on a journey. Then he who had received the five talents went and traded with them, and made another five talents. And likewise he who had received two gained two more also. But he who had received one went and dug in the ground, and hid his lord’s money.” • Each one of us know, where on our inside there is a flow, that should be developed to increase and grow. • Each one of us know what things we do that brings joy to our soul, when we reach out to someone who, in some or other area, needs to be made whole. • Oh, what a shame when those precious gifts stay locked up within us because of our hurts and pain ~ others to blame! • There is someone out there who needs what talents we possess, that would cause them to be blessed. • Our own selfish comforts and goals, will block those gifts to freely flow, to lead people to Christ, you know! • Reach out to them and touch; we should have no choice, but surely must, or everything will turn back to dust. Romans 14:7 - 8 ” For if we live, we live to the Lord; and if we die, we die to the Lord. Therefore, whether we live or die, we are the Lord’s…” • Come on; use what you’ve got, and it will become a hot spot, sought after, and not to rot. • Like a fresh water stream it should flow, to cause people’s lives around us, like beautiful flowers to grow. • It can and will change messed up lives, even troubled children, husbands and wives. • We should be willing to dare ~ no effort to spare, as we use our God-given gifts so beautiful and rare. • Let us not look at others for what they have, but use our own and stop to moan, otherwise it will simply cause us, without direction, to continually roam, with no joy, even in our own home. • Be a star, right there where you are! Luke 17:10 "So likewise you, when you have done all those things which you are commanded, say, ‘We are unprofitable servants. We have done what was our duty to do.” Facebook: Jacques van der Hoven.
