“Work while you have the light. You are responsible for the talent that has been entrusted to you.”
(Henri Frederic Amiel)

Each of us has been created with different bents and talents. We are so uniquely made, there will never be another one of us.

Each day we all do a million things. {{OK, slight embellishment as I may not do a million but can we settle for a lot of things?}} We can do these many things because we are people and we are task oriented.

As we journey through life, our long list of tasks to do grows longer. Some are daily responsibilities we meet because others depend on us. At times, we just go through the motions.

And then there are those endeavors which cause us to come to life. Our eyes sparkle and our words are joy-filled as we speak of them.

It’s the moment we realize that this is one of the reasons we have been placed here on earth. It is what God created us to do. It’s our purpose.

Talent is a special natural ability or capacity to do something with excellence or success. It is what will waken you up in the night and fill you with hope beyond yourself.

Here’s what I am finding … sure, we can do a million things. But most probably, they will not all be done well. And they will not all meet with a deep seated sense of satisfaction and well being.

We must find that which He has created us to do; for that is the good work He has entrusted to us and we are responsible to do.

“For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.” (Ephesians 2:10, NLT)

Works planned in advance.
And when we use our talents …
We become God’s masterpiece.
