Our gifts our not just for us; they are for the world

Morning: Psalms 16, 17; Isaiah 3:8-15; I Thessalonians 4:1-12

Evening: Psalm 22; Amos 5:1-17; Luke 20:41 – 21:4

Jesus calls us to use well our gifts. Some are very gifted but squander their treasure and miss life’s opportunities. Some receive relatively few gifts, which they focus and develop, nurture and refine, and use generously. One who starts out with little, but who values her gifts and gives abundantly, lives more fully than one who starts out with much, but fails to appreciate that her gifts are treasures to be shared. Unused gifts gather dust and are lost. The secret is this: our gifts are not just for us; they are for the world.
