It was suggested to me that I memorize this passage. So I decided to create a piece of art that would help me. The idea that we are being asked to improve our minds as part of loving God was a novel idea. We are to love God with all our heart, all soul and all our mind. We are to love the idea that He created us and to express it. Being human is a gift. Yet personally I never give it a thought. . Having belief in God is a unique ability that not everyone has access to. Yet how often do I think about this gift and thank Him for it? To love God is to accept His gifts and talents to us and to utilize them. To thank Him for our good fortune and to accept them with gratitude. If I love God and cherish the mind that He gave me am I willing to improve it and to think about some of the dumb things I say and do without questioning myself? To love Him with all my heart and soul and to always be grateful for this wonderful gift of a life and a spirit and a mind... Awesome.
All of us have talents. Yet how often do we take them for granted? I seem to have a talent for numbers, yet my faith in myself never allowed me to utilize this gift. I thought I was too dumb to get things like algebra, calculus, and other elements of higher mathematics. Is it possible to push myself to excel and to use the talents God bestowed upon me?
