DAY 57: USE YOUR TALENTS

"USE THE TALENTS YOU POSSESS, 

FOR THE WOODS WOULD BE VERY SILENT 

IF NO BIRDS SANG EXCEPT THE BEST." 

Henry van Dyke

Most people are very slow to recognize their own giftings and need others around them to encourage and fan the flame.  But each one is responsible for what God has given, and this where another quote by Henry van Dyke is relevant:                                                                                                         

"It is better to burn the candle at both ends, 

and in the middle, too, 

than to put it away in the closet 

and let the mice eat it.”
