You are a gift of God!

A reader named Theodora left a comment that particularly touched me. I invite you to carefully read it and reflect on her profound words.
“Thank You, Lord, for what You are making of my life. Thank You for what I was yesterday and what I am today.

You empower me to come through trials; You shame my enemies; You transform my failures into victories.

Here, where I am today, is exactly where I am supposed to be, for You make my way perfect. I trust You to direct my life and define it in every way.

Fill my heart with love, so that I can share these gifts that I receive freely from you. Place me in the service of others, that I might be Your hands and feet.

Help me to always give a bit more than is asked of me so that I am worthy to present myself before Your face.

I will remain close to You, no matter what may happen. Nothing can turn me away from You. I bless Your Name with all that I am, our Father in heaven…Amen.”

Dear Theodora, I know that with such a state of heart, God is going to do marvelous things in your life!

By the way, your name, Theodora, means “gift of God” in Greek. I salute your faith, your determination, and your desire to serve others.

I know that you’all are also a “gift of God,”truly a “divine gift” in and for this world. Don’t ever doubt it!
