The gifts given to us by God must not be relinquished to those who speak ill of them and who are moved by envy or ignorance.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
We should not have a petty regard for God's gifts, though we may and should despise our own imperfections.
All sorts of spiritual gifts come through privations, if they are accepted.
God never gives someone a gift they are not capable of receiving. If he gives us the gift of Christmas, it is because we all have the ability to understand and receive it.
More and more, unsolicited gifts from without are likely to be received with unconscious resentment.

Blessed are those who give without remembering and take without forgetting.
We are all gifted, but we have to discover the gift, uncover the gift, nurture and develop the gift and use it for the Glory of God and for the liberation struggle of our people.
Part of our essential humanity is paying respect to what God gave us and what will be here a long time after we're gone.
Gifts fall from heaven only in fairy tales.
