It Is Up To You

Once I was told the story of a chef who was missing an ingredient for a recipe, but such was his desire to make that special dish, that he compensated the lack of that ingredient, mixing some ingredients he did have, achieving an awesome result with a new flavor for that special dish.

God has given you very special talents and skills. But nobody has been given "all" the talents and skills. However, you need to succeed even though you may lack some "ingredients". If you really want to successfully achieve your goals, use what you have and make something new that no one else can do, because it's your own "mix" and that includes making alliances with those who have what you lack.

The message is that your life will be, what you make of it. What you to accomplish with the talents and abilities God has given you, it's up to you! What you achieve in the midst of the circumstances around you, depends on your desire to achieve it. No excuses. God wants to see what you do with what He gave you. He always supports you, but that does not mean that He will do things for you. But He will support you in what you do. Your heavenly Father will give you instructions, train you, guide you and support you. But you have to do it!
