I have come to the conclusion that this is the season for me to cultivate everything I have. We are all granted with gifts.These gifts are to bless others and give glory to God. We all have many undiscovered gifts and talents we put the lid on out of fear that our gifts are not qualified. The truth is, your robbing others of blessings by hoarding your gifts.
It may seem like we don't have much but we must maximize what we have. The reason I say this is because when we prove we can be trusted with a certain number of responsibilities typically more adds on. I am in the underground season, I am challenged to use the portion I have to give out because I know when the time is right I will have the responsibility of stepping up to the plate. This is a season I am challenged to unravel stories about my life that I need to continually expose to produce healing for those around me. Not only is this healing for me but it is healing for those I share my story with. Now more than ever I am challenged to use my gifts. Gifts start as seeds, we need to consistently pour water on it. It's so easy to ask God for favors but there are times I have to ask myself what am I doing for God.
I need to take advantage of every moment I get to praise God. It is so easy to complain and think about the areas I lack. When I meditate on everything the Lord carried me through I can't help but give thanks. The amount of times His grace was spared throughout my life is innumerable. It's reasons like this, I have every reason to praise God. He spared me from going down a path of destruction by subtracting people from my life. He granted me with a relationship where I am challenged to surrender my worries, fears, and concerns to the cross daily. He blessed me with a family that remains strong regardless of the circumstance. This journey with God is unique for each of us, for me it is a gradual process, I am challenged to decrease in order to let God increase.The path is uncomfortable, but rewarding. It is a path where I see myself learning how to surrender my ways in return for His.
