Something that caused me to feel so sad, up to the point of weeping inside of me recently.
I just encountered two situations regarding talents. For the first one, I came to met and know a brother in christ recently. He shared to me that when he just accepted the Lord, he was so on fire that he wants to find something, yea, i mean SOMETHING he can serve the Lord. He can't play the guitar, he can't share to others because he was still not firm in the Word too and lots more the list goes. And it adds the more frustration to himself when he sees others can serve as they have the gifts. And as a testimony, God gave the gifts according to His time, and he is now leading in sharing the word in a sunday school to the kids and he is so happy about it.
On the contrary, there are people whom God had gave the gifts to serve Him. However, the willingness, the passion to use it is not there as the first one.
This really reminded me of the Parable of Talents, which I still remembered I first listened to it when I was in iscf. (Matt 25:14-28)
Those who received talents and use it, God will give more.
Those who received talents but do not use it, God will be disappointed and not please with you.
How can that be? We gotta surrender ourselves as we follow Him. As we do that, we should desire, find delight in knowing His desires and fulfill it. And it is always a joy in serving the Lord. =)
