Don't hide your talent under a bushel

In a nutshell... 

We are all precious to the Lord, with gifts and talents within us that have been there since conception. It is our earthly task to uncover what these talents are and use them for the glory of God. So much time is spent in the pursuit of wealth and social status, many of our true gifts are smothered, lying buried and dormant for most, if not all of our lives. Jesus tells us to start digging and discover things that will make us happy and fulfilled, things that will give us a sense of purpose and achievement in enabling us to create, just as the Father creates. In the Tribulation many will rise up as leaders, healers and teachers; others will use their gifts through worship, speaking in the spirit (tongues) and holy art. Be prepared to find talents you never knew you had. 

Jesus says :

My people, there is no greater work than coming to know yourself. Aside from coming to know Me. From birth onward, you are conditioned by the words of those who care-or care not-for you. Parents are feeding their children much of their own viewpoint of the world. They project upon their children the very things they hoped and dreamt they could be; or their negative, failure-influenced view of the world and of you.
To Me, you are the most beautiful of My creation, perfect in all respects-until you are twisted by those who do not know Me or themselves. They set the direction for your lives by their fears, expectations, their experiences, their failures and successes. So, there is a natural bias in any family that is projected on to you from childhood and even birth.Then you step out into the world from under the shelter of your family life, and the world slaps you down. People disappoint, deceive, steal and lie and if you haven't experienced that in your family, it is quite a shock. Then there are others, few and far between, who are kind and always have good things to say to build you up.

So, please take all this into consideration. YOU ARE NOT ANYTHING ANYONE HAS TOLD YOU, YOU ARE. Your task is to uncover the real you, and I promise you-you cannot do it without Me. I will show you the love and the gentle correction and truth that you need to embrace and blossom into who I created you to be.
Let Me assure you, you are fearfully and wonderfully made; full of gifts and abilities I put there to cause you to blossom into the abundant life I ordained for you from the foundation of the world.
