God's Gift........
Your talent is God's gift to you.
What you do with it is your gift back to God.
~Leo Buscaglia~
To me this is an extremely Beautiful and Marvellous statement. There is no doubt in the fact that God does not require anything from us. He is the awesome creator. The author and the finisher. The fact that the most that we could give him, does not compare to a mere drop of water, in a mighty ocean, says everything. Nevertheless, I believe that he made each and everyone of us unique with a special talent. And the reason for this is, not for us to sit around and let this talent go to waste, or to deteriorate over time, instead, it is intended for his good works.
I believe that we should all be making full use of the talents buried deep within us, to make a difference in the world around us. Believe it or not, in some crazy, unexpected way, we are all capable of changing something around us for the better. No matter what is said, we all have the chance of making an impact in the lives of the people we come in contact with. It may be a hundred people or it may be one single person, but it is still someone's life that is being turned around.
It is not how much or how little we say or do, but it is the simple fact we took the initiative to do something. It only takes a second for a person's heart to stop beating, one second to say something hurtful. One second for a day to end. Why not take one second to change a life? We are all extremely capable. Unlike others who are disabled, we all have working limbs, and organs that function well enough. A stable life and sufficient finances. So why turn the small little problems in our lives into big issues? There are people who are worse off compared to us. People, who are physically disabled, mentally challenged, and yet, they have learnt to make the most of their lives. They have turned out to be the ones encouraging us and impacting our lives instead of the other way around.
I strongly believe that it is about time we got out of our comfort zone and started doing things differently. Time we stopped being selfish and time we started reaching out a helping hand. It is time we stopped taking and time we started giving, for the greatest reward is not what we have on earth but what lies in Heaven.
