Everything we “have” was given, so we don’t actually have anything in the sense that it’s “ours”, because it’s all gifts.
Living with this spiritual understanding humbles us.
Like in the worship song Gloria, by U2, we acknowledge that we don’t have anything. But if we did, we’d want to give it to God as an offering of gratitude for the eternity of love he gave us!
Oh, Lord
If I had anything
Anything at all
I’d give it to you
U2
When God calls us, we become expressions of his love by worshiping him with the talents he’s gifted us.
My offerings of gratitude to God are my writing and counselling/coaching with his Love as my “methodology.”
What about you, what are yours?
