USE OF OUR TALENTS FOR GOD'S GLORIFICATION

I worked with a lady that had a job much more superior than mine. She had better hours, paid more money, given more benefits and had less work to do. Our working relationship lacked a sense of calm. I prayed and God showed me she saw talents in me that I did not see. She lived in fear that one day I would take her job. She had seniority and had worked very hard to get to her present position. I did not want to see her feel threatened by me. To help her feel more comfortable about the situation I told her, "Please trust me when I say, I do not want your job. I have all I can handle carrying out the responsibilities of my own." This eased the stress, allowing us to develop a great working relationship. We were both very efficient and productive by using our own talents. God gives each of us talents. When we seek His will for our lives He guides our direction and uses our talents for His glorification.
