WOYWW 128: Many Gifts and Talents

Here is part of my craft room this morning.

On a pile of boxes,

I am working on a canvas 

commissioned by a very nice lady.

She gave me the words below

which she wanted put on a canvas.

My problem is I don't draw men

very well (unless it's somebody with

a beard like Jesus and the disciples!)

So this is a girl again!!

    Gandhiji’s Talisman

    I will give you a talisman.  Whenever

you are in doubt, or when the self

becomes too much with you, apply

the following test.

    Recall the face of the poorest and

the weakest man whom you may have

 seen,  and ask yourself,  if the step you

contemplate is going to be of any use

to him.  Will he gain anything by it?

Will it restore him to a control over

his own life and destiny?  In other

words,  will it lead to swaraj for the

hungry and spiritually starving millions?

    Then you will find your doubt and

your self melting away.

  

 On my journal:
The story of the 

Parable of the Talents

in Luke 19

got me to thinking about

my gifts and talents,

if there were any gifts

I was not aware of,

that I was not using.

God gave us many gifts,

talents, capabilities, 

and He gave them for us to use,

to prosper us,

to fulfill us

and give meaning to our lives.

He meant for us to share 

what we have with others,

and for us to build 

His Kingdom here on earth.

It is good to take an inventory 
of our gifts and talents,
the resources we have at our disposal,
give thanks for all of it,
and see if there is something more
we can do with it, so that

when we see Him face to face,

He will say to us,

"Well done, good and faithful servant!"
