We were born to love God and love one another and to bear the fruits of the Spirit and to do good deeds that God prepared in advance for us to do. We were born not for bread alone but for every word that comes from the mouth of the Father. Our natural gifts are temporal, but use them to the best of your ability and leave the rest to God. Faith, Hope, and Love will remain throughout it all. Whatever you do, do it as if you are serving the Lord and not men. If you feel connected to God intimately when using the gifts He has given you, that reason alone is enough. No one else has to even approve of it. As long as your Father in Heaven approves and is smiling down on you saying well done good and faithful servant, then that is the only audience that you need. And remember, God loves you for who you truly are, not just what you do. Let what you do be an overflow of who you truly are. And most of all, we were born to be loved by God, who loved us first, and that is why we love in the first place.
