So I had such a beautiful dream the other night. I was at this grand feast. There was a buffet of all this food there and different tables that people were sitting at. I had this brother in Christ named Monty. He had passed away from brain cancer and he was there his happy self sitting at this beautiful table. He gave me a list of invited guests. The people were separated according to similar talents and interests. I remember engineering was one of them. I also saw some names I knew and thought, oh I would think they would be at that table, but they weren’t. So then I saw my name. It was sort of a confusing part to me, because my name was under this section that said no talent/overlooked, was like four things there for this table, but I was stuck on no talent questioning when I woke up if it was an enemy dream. Well, I had joy seeing Brother Monty and that we were closest to the food! We were about to eat! There were programs on the table and it said “1st Anniversary of Winter.” I took a pen and changed it to the 31st. I don’t understand that part. Then we all got up to go eat.

So I was thinking marriage supper of the lamb, because here was this huge dinner party and my friend there had passed. Very wonderful brother in Christ God used mightily. But I was stuck on that no talent thing, because God made me. Then I ran across this verse in devotions tonight:

“But when thou makest a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind: and thou shalt be blessed; for they cannot recompense thee: for thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the just.”
‭‭Luke‬ ‭14‬:‭13‬-‭14‬ ‭KJV‬‬

It was just a calling to me to be that 31 woman maybe and keep caring for those in need. I want pure motives and for God to keep transforming my heart and mind. Because sometimes I think I do try to “prove my worth”. And want to be loved and accepted by people. But that is what God spoke to me through this dream and this verse. The verse is a reminder that we need to remember it is the ones who are sick that are in need of Jesus grace and mercy. Not the healed ones. I do hope by encouraging other Christians though, that this will spur the leaders of faith to step out and reach these people in need. Me too!!! They will know we are Christians by our love.

It was such a beautiful dream. I’m so tired and just ready to just go home and take my family too. Got some time yet in this life to go though. Jesus is definitely coming back for His people

Thank you dear sister for sharing with us. I hope you and your family are doing well. My wife and I do well trusting in God every day. We are now living with our daughter.

I was a musician and singer _ good but not great. I doubt I'd be sitting at a table with Mozart or Stevie Wonder though. I would rather sit with my family, people I knew _ to start with; and then eventually you have eternity to get aquainted with everyone else.
This idea of a no talent table suggests a segregated inferior group. It implies you aren't interesting or special enough to sit with God's finest gifted children! Confusion or feelings of inferiority would not exist in heaven. God does not show favoritism. Everyone is special in heaven!
I do believe we may receive different levels of rewards due to our devotion and participation with God and love towards others. Billy Graham deserves more rewards than I and I accept that. God certainly gifted others more than I for His purpose.
I think you get more rewards for loving others than for writing Beethovan's 5th Symphony. We may be surprised when we don't see all the famous talented icons in history who have won numerous awards - because they rejected Jesus.
