El Shaddai (Lord God Almighty) gave us the gift of individual talents for a reason.  When we have the privilege to be called by our divine and all-powerful God to utilize those talents in His service, we must do so without hesitation.  He calls us quite often at moments when we are at our worst or we have hit rock bottom. And when called we springboard back. By his wisdom and brilliance, we are redeemed, and we must obediently respond to his commission.

Faith is about diving headfirst into the deep end.  Choosing Christ as your Lord and Savior is not about, trying religion on for size as a fad and seeing if it is comfortable and pleasing.  Forget about religion.  I am talking about a relationship between you and God.  This involves admitting that we are sinners and that we cannot save ourselves.  It means accepting God’s call of obedience and walking with him.  It is a declaration to God “I cannot do this on my own. 

Our relationship with God is not a get out of jail free
