Do you believe that God would punish one of His children for not using their talents to spread His word? Like in my case, He blessed me with musical abilities. Unfortunately, there are a lot of factors that hold me back from using those for His purposes, time being the biggest in that I have no time. Now it is pretty much common knowledge that most people flock towards musicians that are put in the spotlight, even if they're not very good musicians. The guy that currently does a lot of the worship music at my church is an amazing musician, but before he started singing for us, no one even knew who he was. Now he is obviously one of the most widely known people in the church. So I automatically assume that if I were to put myself in that position, I would be in the same situation as him. Well thought of, widely known with lots of friends. But as I am not in his position, I find that more and more, the few friends I have are turning away from me, and I'm not even sure I have done anything to deserve it. So this makes me wonder, would God punish me because I haven't put my neck on the line for Him? Because I haven't used the talents He gave me for His purposes? I don't know...do you?
