If I have to meet difficulties, to overcome obstacles, to come by fits and starts to a realization of God and the beauty of the God-centered life, does that mean that my spiritual journey is any more valuable or significant than that of the blessed one who has known it all along? We all have gifts; it doesn’t much matter how we receive them so long as we are willing and able and enthusiastic about sharing our gifts with the world.
