Those of you who are familiar with the mining industry know that mining is hard work. It takes lots of time, patience, care, and persistence to mine the treasured gems in God’s creation. This is also true when mining hidden talents in those people around you who are also God’s creation. When we mine hidden talents in people, we don’t use drills, pick-axes, or dynamite as coal or gem miners do. Instead, by the power of the Holy Spirit, we use loving patience. As does everyone who God has created, individuals with special learning and physical needs also have unique gifts which God has given them. To mine their talents may take a little more patience and perseverance, but as you will see from the people we are about to meet, the effort will yield treasured blessings. Let’s meet some very special people and take a look at how they are using to God’s glory the talents He has given them that have been “mined” from within them.

This study will address the harmful focus we place on “self.” This is the emphasis we are told to put on ourselves by the world versus what the Holy Word of God tells us our focus should be in order to please God in our relationship with Him. We will discuss why it is difficult to take the focus off ourselves; that we are uniquely created by God for Godly purposes, not self-purposes; how we should truly be grateful to God for His mercy, love, forgiveness, grace, and sacrifice; and the ways the Word tells us to show this gratitude in self-less ways.

Sleepless nights can create a whole gamut of feelings and emotions. They may be the result of cares and concerns of the day, multiple aches and pains in the body hindering a comfortable resting position, or struggling with the circumstances we have yet to face. It is seldom because we are overwhelmed with the realization that, no matter the causes, we remain in the presence of God. Wrapping a blanket around our heads in frustration is so much easier than wrapping our hearts and souls around with the promises of God through His Word.
During the passionate season of Lent there is a way to change all that. Rather than giving up something for Lent, we can strive to take our eyes off ourselves and redirect the eyes of our hearts on the service we can do for Christ. Rather than “giving up” something for Lent, perhaps “giving to” others for Him is the answer. It may not change our sleepless nights, but it will prepare our minds to praise Him as long as we live, to be satisfied with the rich Spiritual food He has to offer, and to sing for joy under the cover of His wings. In these moments, we are in the presence of God.

Confidence! It’s great stuff! It makes us feel good. We all want it in every aspect of our lives. But the truth is we often do not feel confident. Sometimes we do okay, but if we are honest with ourselves, many times we are pretending and yearning for confidence that we just do not feel. Where to go? Where to look? What to do? Who will help? How can we get this precious confidence that we so much desire? We look to Jesus who became our Brother taking on our flesh, blood, and bone as a tiny Child so He could take our guilt and sin to the cross and bury it in the grave forever.
