• What has God given you? Moses had a stick, David had a slingshot, and Paul had a pen. Mother
  Teresa possessed a love for the poor; Billy Graham, a gift for preaching; and Joni Eareckson
  Tada, a disability. What did they have in common? A willingness to let God use whatever they
  had, even when it didn't seem very useful. If you will assess what you have to offer in terms
  of your time, your treasure, and your talents, you will have a better understanding of how you
  might uniquely serve.

It endures in the wound that is slow to heal, the disability that isn't going away, the dream that wakes you at night, or the stiffening in your spine when a car backfires down the street.
