Letter
Sixteen
Dear
Child:
Why
do you compare yourself to others? You
still don’t get it. I love you, uniquely
you?
I
don’t care about your IQ. I care about
you. You have a kind heart, a gentle
spirit. That is what I love about you.
IQ
only measures one aspect of a person. I
care about the total person.
Really,
the only thing you should concentrate on is “Am
I doing my best with what I have?”
I
have never demanded that a person be the smartest, the most creative, the most
beautiful, or the most credentialed.
I
do care that you develop and build upon the talents you started
with. Do you remember the story of the
people given talents?
One
was given five talents and turned them into ten
One
was given two talents and turned them into four
One
was given one talent and buried it. What
a waste.
If
I had really wanted only the best followers, do you think I would have
entrusted my messages down through the ages to the common men and women I’ve
used? I could have easily chosen rulers,
monarchs, kings and the rich to carry my thoughts forward.
Instead,
I have used fishermen, sinners, poor itinerant preachers, a prostitute, and a
King who had an affair to carry my message.
I use all kinds of people.
So,
forget your IQ. Forget your
failures.
Come
to me, with all your skills and ills, all of your successes and failures. I am the one who declares you worthy.
You
are my choice. You are a worthy
candidate for my grace and love.
I
can use a person like you.
God
