This morning when I read over these verses I thought it was all about grace…then someone talked about our faith walk. Later in this chapter (Matthew 20) Jesus talks to James and John’s mother who wants to know if her sons can sit beside Jesus on His throne. Even in our walk with Christ we have moments…..
Why did she get picked to do that? I could have done a much better job.
He hasn’t even been a part of this fellowship as long as me, why wasn’t I chosen?
Think about this, the gifts that the Father and Son have in store for us will all come to us in different ways. There are the gifts of the Spirit and if we all had the same gifts life would be pretty boring.
The gifts that we are given are not ours, they are gifts and they will be given not according to what we WANT but what God wants to give us. Enjoy your gifts and rejoice with others over the gifts they receive.
God Bless
