There was this man I knew and he would always complain of having a headache. Day in and day out he would lament about how much it hurt. I was always surprised the way he would go on and on. Finally one day I asked him, "Why don't you stop banging your head against the wall?" He replied, "This is what I like to do." I am sure that many of us know some one like this. Someone that is frustrated with life yet unwilling to see that they are their own worst enemy. All of us have gifts and talents. We may not see it but we do. God is wonderful at helping us meet our potential and helping us develop those talents to which he bestowed us. However the only way that is going to happen is if we have a great, close relationship with God. You could be the most talented speed skater in the world but if you choose to only go uphill you will not get very far or realize your capabilities. God is the best life coach anyone could ever have, but we have to ask for his help. God gave us free will. We get to choose him, and if we do our light will shine bright and wide and he will avail so much more to us. Question is though, are we ready to do thy will or my will?
Mark 4:21-25
21And he said to them, "Is a lamp brought in to be put under a bushel, or under a bed, and not on a stand? 22For there is nothing hid, except to be made manifest; nor is anything secret, except to come to light. 23If any man has ears to hear, let him hear." 24And he said to them, "Take heed what you hear; the measure you give will be the measure you get, and still more will be given you. 25For to him who has will more be given; and from him who has not, even what he has will be taken away."
