Gifts

We are all given gifts in equal measure, and no gift is greater than another, because all gifts work together to bring more glory to the world of physical existence. Also, to whom a gift is given it is never taken away. One may choose to mis-use or not use the gifts they have been given; nonetheless they will always possess those gifts no matter what.

This brings me to the issue of whether or not we are to accept the blessing of a gift from someone who has done things that are less than honorable. If there is a hungry family and a man who has done horrible things to them and other in the past comes to that family with food in order to alleviate their plight of hunger, should they deny themselves the food because of his past actions towards them and others? Of course they should not do that, because The Divine blesses through whichever vessel is available to issue blessings. The Divine is not like us, holding everything someone has done over their heads forever. Even though there has been a negative picture painted of The Divine as being one who would condemn us to eternal damnation for our mis-takes in life. That in no way is how The Divine is, or how we should be. There must always be forgiveness; and after forgiveness a new garment is given to the one who has been forgiven to wear. Even if a wicked person has not taken on a lifestyle of change, if they offer a blessing to someone, it should be taken because a blessing is a blessing no matter the source.

So, if someone with less than a desirable track record in caring for others comes to you with a blessing, don’t miss your blessing because you cannot see past yesterday. Many of the honorable women and men in the world today have done things in the past that they are not proud of, and may do some thing in the future that is questionable also. Nevertheless, all we can deal with is the current moment at hand and accept the blessings that come, no matter what is looks like and what it has been used for in the past.
