Well you are correct, we should each seek our pathway!
What will I do about developing my gift or talents?
Of course the most important thing to do is to continue to help others! If one fails to become a good neighbor, then one has failed those whom God has placed upon their pathway of life... Why must I serve those were placed upon my pathway of life; because God has placed them there!
I have been working toward being a light and guide for those whom I can direct to the Kingdom of Heaven!
My understanding is expanding exponentially toward the Eternity of Heaven, as I seek to know where will I spend Eternity!!
Maybe you are another of the messengers which we encounter our pathway of life!
