Day Twenty-one:
Jeremiah 18:3-6
Ephesians 2:10
1 Corinthians 10:31
Matthew 25:29
We typically stash away our blessings that God has given us. We don't tend to share them with others. We put them in the corner/ cupboard and hide them. False humility tells us to play down our talents and skills. Doubt creates fear and timidity. Ingratitude leads us to believe that God has not given us any gifts and talents. We rarely share our blessings with others. God helps us overcome fear and reach out in productive ways. By sharing your blessings with others God will give you even more blessings to share.
Wow. Sometimes these blessings have been brought up by other people. The other day I was told that I have amazing faith. I just kind of shrugged it off and played it down because I believe that I don't. So, I am one who hid my blessings. I told the person that I didn't agree with them...This past week I have noticed this alot. I don't receive gifts and compliments well at all...I shrug them off, change the conversation, and don't know how to respond alot of the time...so, my challenge for myself is to catch myself and just say thank you. And maybe even agree with them. Because God has given them the gift to notice those details about people. So, this whole devotional really hit it for me. Where I am today and what I needed to hear.
