Do Your Best
There are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit . . . but it is the same God who works all in all.
1 Corinthians 12:4, 6
Think for a moment about how you would live life if you were deaf and blind. Would you attempt college? Write books? Learn four different languages? Become a political activist? If so, then you would be in good company with the extraordinary person who was Helen Keller. She accomplished everything mentioned above and then some. Needless to say, she knew how to do the best with what she had and therefore made the world a better place.
Are you doing the best you can for God with what you've been given; or are you stuck, comparing yourself to those who have something you don't? Friends, God has given each one of us unique gifts and abilities; and just like Moses with his rod, David with his sling, the lad with his lunch, and the widow with her oil, God will take what you have and use it for His purpose if you embrace what you've been given and offer it back up to Him.
If you ever feel you have nothing of worth to give back to God, ask Him to reveal to you the special gift He has given only you, and then do the very best you can with what you have!
When we do the best that we can, we never know what miracle is wrought in our life, or in the life of another.
