Live Your Purpose

I am always amazed at how different we all are yet so much alike. To think we were made in similar form but each with our own strengths and weaknesses. One person is fluid in water while the other can take a crowd by storm. Another has a voice of angels yet another mathematical brilliance. Another has the art of a paint brush while another creates splendid garments. I marvel at tech savvy individuals and neurochemists. All talented in their own right. This talent is weaved into our purpose in life for why we are more advanced than others in our expertise and we can't really explain it.

I always find it ironic that we can see every part of our body except our own face. Everyone else can see our face except us. We need the use of a mirror. Everyone else may be able to see how dynamic you are with your given talent but you have to see yourself with your capabilities or else it is useless. What do you use your talent for? What is the ultimate use of your talent? Does it benefit others and if so does it reach those who are in need of your talent? The greatest use and biggest impact of your gift would be to the greatest in need. You know what is even more ironic some of us have two or more great talents. Don't stifle them. Let them flow, fluidly with freedom to touch the lives of others. That is what you were made for.

If you don't think you have talent. Go and have fun discovering what you are good at. Ask others. They will tell you. Then incorporate or associate it to other strengths, asking what good can you do with the information. If you know what your talent is and don't know how to use it, make a calendar with events on how you can express your gift. Start with what makes you feel comfortable but be sure to put something challenging and exciting on the days ahead. Beware, that once you start, it becomes addicting. And once you stop you may feel under the weather. As a singer who doesn't sing will tell you, they are miserable if they do not sing. So go out there and do what you do best. "Live your purpose".

Ephesians 2:10

"For we are God's Handiwork, created in Christ Jesus
to do good works,
which God prepared in advance for us to do."
