Gifted

A thought from Hazelden:

All of us are gifted. Every person has a gift that can bring great joy and light to those who encounter it. Our task is to stand in the sun and create a climate that will develop and nurture our gift.

Sometimes we are afraid to let ourselves believe that we have anything special to offer or contribute to the world. We think of ourselves as plain and untalented, with no gifts or special potential. But if we believe we are limited, we act in a limited way. We take few risks and follow few paths that might develop our special talents and gifts.

To fully believe in our talents , we need only step from the darkness into the sun. We will take this first step, trust enough, and start believing that YES, we do have special gifts.

Prayer: Today let me be aware of my deep and unfulfilled desires, dreams, and wishes, which is the first step on the way to accepting my gifts.
