Quote by Saint Teresa of Avila

God gave us faculties for our use each of them will receive its proper reward. Then do not let us try to charm them to sleep, but permit them to do their work until divinely called to something higher.

God gave us faculties for our use each of them will receive

Summary

It advises against neglecting or downplaying these abilities, but rather allowing them to be actively employed until we are divinely guided towards pursuing something greater. This serves as a reminder to fully engage with our inherent gifts and make the most of them, recognizing that they serve a meaningful role in our individual journeys.
