Have you ever opened a box only to find another box inside? Your box might look like a plain box, but often inside of a plain box is a beautifully wrapped gift. You are a gift from God, and your talent and purpose is his gift to everyone else. You are blessed and qualified. Your purpose is tied to the plan God has for you. You do something like no one else does. You are discovering your potential and releasing it into the lives of others.
Getting Distracted From Your Purpose
If you do not grow weary in well-doing you will reap if you faint not (Galatians 6:9). Don’t get distracted by chasing two rabbits and then not catching either one. Focus on one thing. If you complain, you remain, but if you praise, you get a raise such as elevated thinking or an increase to the next level. Celebrate where you are. Leave the past where it belongs (Philippians 3:13) and focus on what God is doing in and around you!
Be You
God made you in His image, and he’s filled you with his grace. You have a passion for what He calls you to do. We author things we don’t finish, but God finishes what he starts (Philippians 1:6). Don’t allow religious people to tell you that you can’t do your special talent in your unique way. For me, it’s helping people. Whatever your thing is, you will get there, just keep pressing on!
Be Encouraged
Say this with me, “I declare that I am called of God, anointed of God, and qualified on purpose. I have a calling, and I have a gifting that no one else has. Inside my box, is a package designed for me. When I pull that package out, it’s going to be a happy day, a blessed day, and a favored day. Amen!”
