Romans 12:6... says, “God has given each of us the ability to do certain things well.”
What is it that God has given you to do well? Be thankful for whatever talent the Lord has given you. While we’re busy envying someone else’s talents, we forget about what God have given us. It seems as though we always want to be something we’re not, and are seldom happy being who we are.
Praying that God will remind you today of what gifts He has given you specifically. And if you aren’t really sure, that He will show you. I’m reading a new book right now called “The Artist’s Rule: nurturing your creative soul with monastic wisdom.” In a passage I just read this week it said, “The inner artist engages the world through the senses and is passionate about beauty, seeking to express it through a variety of media (including visual art, poetry, movement, song, gardening, cooking, relationships, etc.). Artists bring a sense of wonder to their work and open up new ways of seeing the world.” I LOVE that is lists so many ways to be an artist...like cooking & gardening & being in relationships. Maybe not what you think of with a stereotypical “artist”. And that’s just a partial list!! So I pray that with God’s help you will see & know what area you are gifted to do well & know that you are an artist...a creative person...and you bring a sense of wonder & show new ways of seeing the world in that specific area you do well, whatever it is...woodworking...engineering...teaching...etc...etc...etc. : )
Praying for you,
Stacey
