All ability and talent are blessings from God. They are either wasted and contribute to the ever increasing rubbish yet to be destroyed along with this world or developed and empowered to produce the everlasting impact of bringing glory to God from whom all blessings flow. If what we do in this life is not out of love for God and neighbor and out of gratitude to the One who created all things - we not only fail in this life but forfeit all further blessings from God forever.
