Great things are available, courtesy of our creator. The way is there but we need to work. One stream of thought is God will do everything for us, we need to nothing. Just by asking, we only have to ask for what we want, then sit back, it will come to us.
The opposite idea is it doesn’t matter if God exists or not, we must make the good happen for ourselves. We create the fruit of our hard work, and we alone are responsible for it. It’s all on us. The more balanced belief is there is a God who helps us by placing tools within our reach and we are to do the work to open the door and find the gifts.
Leonardo da Vinci is quoted as saying:
“Oh Lord, thou givest us everything, at the price of an effort.”
da Vinci was perhaps one of the most talented artists of all time; it must be remembered he worked eighteen hour days quite often to create his masterpieces. We are all blessed with talents beyond what others have. Where one person can use words, another mathematics, another medicine, and another kindness, we all, in our respected fields, work using our talents, gifts, and resources, we will each complete our own masterpieces.
I’m excited about continuing with my masterpiece, how about you and yours? Keep working, and you’ll see lots of opportunities coming your way. Have a nice evening, and we’ll see each other tomorrow.
