My child,
Do you remember when my son said, “I must be about my father’s business…”? Do you realize that he was the most talented person that ever lived? Because he did not carry the destructiveness of sin on his mind and body (to say nothing of the fact that he was fully divine) he could have done anything. He could have been the world’s greatest composer, sharing the music of heaven for all mankind to hear its beauty. He could have painted the most stunning pictures of people and nature, capturing every detail. He could have written masterpieces that people would have read time after time, never getting their fill of his words. He could have sang, danced, led armies, built cities, become wealthy in trade and a million other things. He did not choose to do any of those things, but instead chose to do my business.
I have given you many talents and have allowed many opportunities to come your way. I delight in your talents. What father does not delight in seeing his children accomplish? But what about my business? Will you lay aside all you could be to become what I want you to be? Will you honor the work of my kingdom first? If you do, I will honor all that you do.
Your Father, I AM
