"The artist is nothing without the gift, but the gift is nothing without work." Emile Zola (1840-1902)
Does it matter what gift we have in life? Not really. What really matters is what we do with what we've been given. God invested His time in creating each of us unique like a snowflake. Will we personally invest ourselves in those gifts he created us to have? Some of us are gifted with serving, some with mathematical talent, some with a kind smile, some with protecting others, some with compassion, etc. Just as an unwrapped present goes unappreciated, it's value soon fades. The gift must be unwrapped and put to use. The builder builds, the singer sings, the cleaner cleans, the creative creates, the designer designs, and the artist paints, etc. Work isn't a negative thing. Work means to apply, to practice, to persist, to perfect, to become better, to evolve, to discover, to combine, to create, to inspire, and more. Work is the key ingredient. It makes the artist and the gift of art priceless. Fear not work! Embrace work as of it were PLAY and make your gifts come alive!
