To write or To turn away

Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights. —James 1:17

Recently I've being going through a hard time assessing the gifts given by God to me. I was having serious doubts about the gifting that I've received through the manifestation of the Holy Spirit. I was wondering why were these Gifts given if it is not being utilized at all. My doubts were so serious that I wanted to let it go or just bury it since its not being needed and just move on with life as it is. (sounds familiar? - Parable of the Talents; Matthew 25:14-30) perhaps the context could be a little different however the results is the same if I would just bury it and move on with life. Perhaps Idleness have led me to all these with the added impetus from me being such an active person that always have to be on the go. What's describe me best is like a blade that has been left in the sheath for a long time where the edge between the blade and the hilt has rusted. It takes more effort to unsheathe a rusted blade.

My dear readers, its time I lay my pen down. I'm dry.
I just want to take time and ponder upon the verse that's above.
To be able to truly discover and understand that whatever that has been given
Is good and is perfect as it comes from God.

Thanks for journeying with me through my adventures. If you are with me.
Commit me unto the gracious hands of our Savior. Till these hands should move the pen again.
Perhaps it could be today, tomorrow or days to come. Yet my confidence is in Him and I know that these hands will be moved once again by Him to hold the pen and write.
