A short spoken-word reflection (YouTube short) by Betsy Guerra on obedience in the Christian life. The speaker contrasts God-given gifts (including free will) with the distinct gift humans offer back to God—obedience—framed as living the dreams God has for us and using our gifts to serve others.

Chapters

I learned that everything we do, everything you do to be the hands and feet of God on earth is based on gifts God's given you. So it's almost like you're returning that gift. You're glorifying him by using it in the service of others. But there's one gift that God cannot give us and that we get to give Him. And that's the gift of obedience. The gift God gave us is free will. The gift we get to glorify him with is obedience. Which looks like living the dreams God dreams for us, which are always going to be better than our own.
