"And we pray this in order that you may please him
in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of
God."
Colossians 1:10
Your
evaluation of your productivity and success in life is based on your set of
values. Do you look at the secular aspects of career success, or in light
of social activism issues, or from a Biblical standpoint?
People
channel their talents and resources on the basis of what motivates them.
If we give our lives to the Lord, He has a way of producing fruit even with our
limitations and seeming failures. If we expend our efforts to the glory
of God, in thankfulness and gratitude for what He has given us, we will find we
please Him in all we do. We will also be doing what He wants us to
accomplish.
There
is a quote I've heard many times but have no idea of the source. It
says: "What you are is God's gift to you. What you become is
your gift to God." All of us will stand before the Lord one day to
give an account of our lives. Don't waste yours. Be a faithful
minister of God's gifts to you -- be fruitful.

God gives us all the gifts He has planned for us to be able to follow His road upon which He has set us, When we utilize His gifts to the best of our ability and give back to Him what we have done with them the story of our life comes full circle.
