DAILY HOMILIES #opportunity

Why would God give others more talents than me? We do not all have equal opportunities, but we all have equal abilities to make the best of our unique opportunities. God gives to each according to their ability. Some people are more fortunate than others, but just as our abilities differ, so do our problems. Avoid envy; no one is better than you. Avoid pride; you are not better than anyone else. We are just different.

Avoid envy; no one is better than you. Avoid pride; you are not better than anyone else. We are just different. So mind your business – show concern about others but avoid comparing your life to that of anyone. You are unique. Even if it is only one talent that you have, nurture it. Remember that talent is never enough. You must develop it like gold that must be polished and purified to shine.

Jesus saw a lot of people there but his attention was drawn to this man because he had been there for a very long time. The truth is that even our problems are “blessings” in disguise. I believe God will never allow us to face a difficult challenge unless He intends to bring something good out of it.
