(Picture courtersy of Vermont Vitalis)This reminds me of the times when some people focus on gifts and talents. Some even try to show off their wealth even though it comes from heritage and not from their own hard work nor sweats and are so eager to tell everyone what/how they "flow or move in" when truthfully it's all about the empowerment of GOD and what He wills to do through us for His pleasure and glory.That's why we can see that in every family not all the children will have the same attitude or brain knowledge even though they came from the same "factory". God places the gifts, talents, knowledge and wealth. He does the empowering through His Holy Spirit and He gets the glory rightfully so but sadly there are many who lose sight of Who it's really about and they always 'claim' the gifts, talents, knowledge and wealth as their own and in some cases the precious souls don't even realize it. It's sort of like the person who always has to announce by saying and showing that they are humble or rich. It is often that precious soul who is wreaking in pride. True humility never has to be announced. Only He sees it.
Jesus tells us in John 15 that apart from Him we can do nothing.
"John 15:5-6 I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. If anyone does not remain in me, he is like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned."
Warmest Regards,
