Matt's New Guitar.

So today, right now actually, I am sitting in the Activity Center at church listening to Matt play his new guitar and thinking about what it means to serve God with the gifts and abilities that we have. Matt is a talented guitar player and will serve God with this gift and ability and passion that he has, especially with his new guitar. But it wasn't his new guitar that made him have the gift or ability or passion. It was his hard work and now he can play the new guitar with brilliance. I think often God gives us opportunities to "play our new guitars" and we must be ready for them. We must have developed the gift that God has given us with great stewardship and care taken for what he has given us and blessed us with.
