Good stewards

Once again, life got busy, and blogging was pushed to the side. Yet I have so much rolling around in my brain…here I am feeling overwhelmed once again. Probably explains the feeling of anxiety I have been feeling for the past few days…

In this week’s bible study the theme is using your gifts and your talents to glorify God along with taking care of what you have been given and using what you have wisely. I can honestly say I am not using my gifts, my talents or even what I have wisely...

There are things that I would like, and I am quite thankful for what we have, yet I am not being a good steward with what we have…Why would God give us more? In Luke we are told about 3 servants, each were given a mina or money. 2 of the servants made the money/mina grow while the 3rd servant tucked it away afraid to do anything with it. The Lord gave the 2 servants more, more to take care of, while He gave that 3rd servant nothing. He actually took things away from him.

I can’t help wonder if I am that 3rd servant, not sharing what I have, or taking care of what I have. Afraid to share, afraid to take a chance. It would seem I still have trust issue with God…

Despite how much we have or do not have, there is always something we can share, there is a gift, a talent that we can use to both glorify God and to show people God.

Once again it seems for years my talent has been tucked far away, afraid to let it out again…
