Saturday, July 10, 2004 Beethoven in HeavenStan what a magnificent article.I am blown away by this, and encouraged! I am sure God gave him this talent and Beethoven passed it on to us.. the results of it. I am going to go and take more special notice now of his music! Talents: Did I mention once how God spoke to me about that. How he gave every man their own personal strengths ... and the reason He have them was to glorify HIM! But us humans have taken these wonderful, God-given strengths and used them for self gain! To some He gave the talent of music (not all to the degree of Beethoven!); to others the ability to have a brain to make finances grow; to others, to be a wonderful way with people communication; others, a writing ability and so on. He is wanting us to use these strengths to comply with those two commandments: Mat 22:37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. Mat 22:38 This is the first and great commandment. Mat 22:39 And the second [is] like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. We might say, "I do not have any talent", but if we stop being modest (or falsely modest) and think about it, we should try and see it from God's point of view. He gave us a strength (or more) and the reason He gave it was to use it with that second commandment (which supports the first!. I wrote this in a hurry ..... hope it has come out as I meant it to!!!! Might have to edit it later when I have more time! # posted by Caroline @ 11:49 am 0 comments
