I am not capable!

Julie was standing beside the road wondering how she would cross the heavy traffic roads of Delhi. The vehicles whizzed zoomed past making her move to the edge of the existing road although she was at the farthest edge. She wondered at the fast world she was living in. Bikes, Buses, Cars and Vans all heading in the same direction and in the same speed grouped together were speeding just to be stopped at the next traffic signal. Even as she was standing there her mind was filled with assignments and project she had pending and those she had to complete in the coming days. After a long wait, an auto with its maximum speed as if trying to compete with the superfast vehicles went past her. Julie laughed out loud with a sense of mockery at the poor little auto – even in its top speed it would never be able to catch up with the rest – she knew. Tears began to swell down her eyes – to her; she was the auto trying her level best to catch up with the rest.

In College, they gave the students hefty number of assignments and projects to complete. To Julie, completing all those projects and assignments was truly impossible. Yet her classmates were running ahead with the Speed finishing their project and assignments on time. How could they! She was astounded.

She realized for the first time in her life that she was less capable than her classmates and friends she just couldn’t do it at her maximum speed. The poor little auto flashed in her mind’s eye. At least she should be thankful that the auto was moving. There was always a hope that it would reach its destination. Unmindful, the auto, was doing its best.

Just then these Scriptures flashed in her mind,

“And to one He gave five talents, to another two, and to another one, to each according to his own ability..” (Matthew 25:15)

“According to their ability, they gave to the treasury for the work…” (Ezra 2:69)

She was thankful to God for all that He has given her according to her ability and decided to give her BEST to God in all that she did. From that day onwards she never complained to God for what she did not have, but always thanked God for all that He had given her!
