THE DAILY SPARK

ALL THE TALENTS OF GOD

All the talents of God are within you.           

How could you be otherwise when your soul derived from His Genes!

I love that expression, “All the talents of God are within you.”

Sometimes Hafiz cannot help but to applaud  certain words that rise from my depths

Like the scent of a lover’s body.

Hold this book close to your heart For it contains wonderful Secrets.

 

From: THE GIFT  Poems by Hafiz The Great Sufi Master Translations by Daniel Ladinsky

REFLECTION:

  • Do you believe all the talents of God are within you? 
  • What are they – do an honest inventory.
  • How can you honor them… thus honoring God too!

A DEEPER HUNGER

Let us not make a mistake – that the hunger is only for a piece of bread.  The hunger of today is so much greater:  for love – to be wanted, to be loved, to be cared for, to be somebody. 

Quote by Mother Theresa

REFLECTION:

  • Telling your truth, what do you really hunger for today?  How can you get that need met? 
  • How can you “feed” someone else today? Who is it?  What will you do?

PEOPLE ….

Relationships move at the speed of trust and social change moves at the speed of relationships.

Quote by Rev. Jen Bailey from The Peoples Supper Organization

REFLECTION:

  • Examine your relationships.  Which ones have a high level of trust?  Which ones do you need to build trust?
  • Is there a social change you are seeking?  How can you build trust with another/others for a stronger relationship to impact social change?
