Have you noticed that some of your greatest gifts can take you down
the path that leads to your worst downfall? We all have gifts that are
obvious to us and to the world. But we must never forget how and
why these gifts came to be in our possession. God has given us faculties
which are designed to be placed in service of the Divine. Just as our
weaknesses can become a source of strength, our gifts can become an
impediment to our spiritual growth. It is all in the intention behind the use of the gift.
