Being A Thief

I will happily tell you that I have never stolen anything in my life.... or at least I would have said that until yesterday. Yesterday, I was reading and came to the understanding that I have stolen. I have stolen me... I have stolen the blessings God has intended to give to people through me. Not all of them of course, but there have been times in my life when I have consciously made the decision not to do something I knew God wanted me to do because I did not feel that I could do it, was too embarrassed to do it, or whatever other excuse I came up with at that moment. I am firmly resolved to do my very best never to steal in this way again!
