Abilities

LORD,
I may not be the strongest, the fastest, the smartest, or the most beautiful, but I know you can still use me in a powerful way. Teach me that the abilities you have given me are only maximized when they are used for your purposes. Please reveal to me my abilities and my spiritual gifts. I want to learn how to use those gifts for you, not just for myself, so I can realize what it means to honor and serve you. Show me how to fit my abilities into your plan, so that my life will yield great results in your eyes.

*** When someone has been given much, much will be required in return; and when someone has been entrusted with much, even more will be required. LUKE 12:48 ***

I had always thought that I need to be physically fit to be an example of strength. I had never knew that it wasn't until I was at my weakest, but unwilling to give up because of the faith that I have , that I would be concidered strong. Our abilities come from the Lord. He is our creator and knows what we are capable of, even though sometimes we question ourselves and our abilities. When ever I am about to take something on I say " Im going to try". Not to say that I wont do my best but I will try my best with God by myside. Like any athlete that wins an award , when asked how did they do it they say hard work and encouragement from my coach. The Lord is my coach and He lovingly pushes me to achieve what I think is impossible but He knows is possible.

Never fail to thank the One who pushed you along when you felt like quitting.-T
