At whose feet do we lay our gifts?

At whose feet do we lay our gifts? This question can determine the direction in which our lives can develop. This is all about what consumes our time, our talent and our treasure. We called to review what we spend our lives engaged with. The three most useful tools for discernment our diaries, our journals and our bank statements. They tell us where we are spending our time, what we are reflecting on and where we store our treasure. This is all fruit for prayerful reflection. Fundamentally does our life revolve around us and building our own kingdom or do we seek to centre on what God desires for us? Often there is a fear in letting God into our decision making because we do not know which direction this will lead us. Especially in an age of personal autonomy, we can believe that our choices are more important than God’s desires for us. The central principle of the Christian life, however, that God desires for us a life which will bring our choices into union with the divine life. We do are incarnate, body and spirit. What we do reflects how we are called to be in communion with God.
