"Truly, we may each be an instrument in the hands of God. Happily, we need not all be the same kind of instrument. Just as the instruments in an orchestra differ in size, shape, and sound, we too are different from one another. We have different talents and inclinations, but just as the French horn cannot duplicate the sound of the piccolo, neither is it necessary for us to all serve the Lord in the same way."
(Mary Ellen Smoot)
"...No one else can do what you can do. Please do not compare yourself to others; rather bloom where you’re planted! "
( Janet Bradford)
"...Sometimes we question our promptings because of what I call the ‘smallness factor’. We think that because the Lord wants us to do just a tiny thing that it is not important. This is wrong..."
(Janet Bradford)
We each have our own specific purposes in this life. The Lord's work, ALL the Lord's work is important and of great worth to Him. It needs to be done. We are those that need to do it. No matter how big or small a task may feel it is still the Lord's work. I am grateful to know that as an individual, I am required to serve in my own way. 'No one else can do what I can do' The Lord needs me over here while He needs you over there. It is all the same. It is His work. I hope to be better at 'blooming where I'm planted' so to speak. And use my talents and strengths to serve in my way.
