This devotional hit me right where it hurts because I have been the one to say that I do things because I enjoy them. Yes, God wants me to enjoy my time on earth, but He also wants me to use the talents He has given me to serve others. I am trying to get better at that but I haven’t been what I would consider a GOOD steward, more like a mediocre one who sometimes serves others and sometimes myself. I need to stop being self-centered and look at the need of others. One of the ways I know I serve is to use my talent to spot grammar and spelling errors in the writing of others. My grandchildren regularly send me their papers to “redline.” Now, an author friend has asked me to be a Beta reader for her, finding errors in her new book before it goes to final print. Both tasks require a time commitment, but I am happy to do it because I know that I am using the talent that God gave me to help someone else. I need to look at other ways to use my talents. How about you? What are you particularly good at, and are you being a good steward of that talent?
