You’ve probably heard the parable Jesus told about the
talents and servants…
You know the one where 2 people invest the talents
given to them and the other person hides theirs in the ground from fear…if not
you can read it here on Bible Gateway: Matt 25:14-30.
To be honest I have heard many sermons encouraging me
not to hide my talent/s and I have gotten a lot out of them…But also as a sensitive,
creative person who can suffer from anxiety it is actually quite challenging
for me to ‘put myself out there’…Then there is the part of me that desires to
remain humble and to not be self-promoting, rather Christ promoting…
I have been on a journey of growth with Jesus since
2005 and it still continues…being a creative person The Lord has taken me
slowly with music and writing to the point where I began this blog and also
leading worship in church, along with other ministries.
I have felt for a while now that I need to share my
heart for The Lord with others publically by singing as well as via this
blog. This has been a progressive
journey which led me last night to record myself singing. I just played an instrumental on my laptop
and recorded myself singing along.
I don’t know what The Lord will do with this video
other than encourage others in their life with Jesus, as this has already
happened.
Like the scripture Ecc 11:6 which says:
‘In the morning sow your
seed, and at evening do not let your hands be idle; for you do not know which
will prosper, this or that, or whether both alike will be good.’
As I am a multi-faceted
person (or a person with more than one talent) I will sew here and there seeds
of God’s Kingdom, and let Him do what He chooses with them, for all I hear is
the call not the whole plan, and that’s okay J
Be encouraged to be
obedient to His call on your life to use your talents for His glory.
In love, Melanie.
