You have a beautiful inheritance!

Psalm 16-The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places; yea, I have a beautiful inheritance.

Just enjoy that for a moment! You have a beautiful inheritance! Despite anything else, you have a beautiful inheritance. Remind yourself, speak it over yourself, tell yourself (and others around you) that you have a beautiful inheritance. When this has sunk in, you will find you begin to exhibit this in the fruit you bear. The essence of that beautiful inheritance is your love-relationship with Jesus. It's the foundational and motivational drive behind what you do and why you do it. You've been adopted into a family, and now play a mjor role in that family, being released to shine your glory in your own unique way. Part of your personal "beautiful inheritance" is the flavour you add to the mix. Your talents and abilities and your anointing are part of a diverse whole. Let them fade, and a shadow is cast somewhere on the whole. Let is shine, and the whole begins to sparkle.

As I've watched an increase in creativity, I see how it is contagious and has a multiplying effect. In a busy world it is easy to either lay down some of our talents. But if we pick them up again as an act of worship and to remain true to ourselves, our inheritance will be beautiful and have it's full effect of glorifying our King, as well as shining a light into the world.

Try it.
