Wouldn’t it be dumb if I took some of those screws that were meant for a bookshelf and used them for something else? They were given to me for a purpose— from the wood planks to the screws and tools— and they are part of building that shelf. The gifts that every single person possesses are tools in your storytelling toolbox. Specifically given to tell the story of God’s glory. They exist to bring God glory.
Je! haingekuwa bubu ikiwa ningechukua baadhi ya skrubu ambazo zilikusudiwa kwa rafu ya vitabu na kuzitumia kwa kitu kingine? Nilipewa kwa kusudi fulani - kutoka kwa mbao hadi screws na zana - na ni sehemu ya kujenga rafu hiyo. Zawadi ambazo kila mtu anazo ni zana kwenye kisanduku chako cha kusimulia hadithi. Imetolewa haswa kusimulia hadithi ya utukufu wa Mungu. Zipo ili kumletea Mungu utukufu.
