If there is one thing
common to all men, it is that we all, without fail, have gifts. God has
equipped you as a solution for certain things on the earth. We all carry on our insides, treasures,
untold assets capable of building us to significance. We all are moving masses
of precious things.
However, not everyone is
aware of and appreciates their gift. Today I seek to encourage and enlighten
you to discover your treasure house. We live in a world where many people are
satisfied with ‘Oohing’, and ‘Aahing’ at the gift of others, while inside of
them are much more awesome treasures. You are uniquely designed of God to stand
out. There is something you have, a precious thing that you trivialize and make
common, but which amazingly is unique to you. If well polished, it could be
your way maker, your ground breaker and your key to significance. Some people
write effortlessly, I have seen people compose songs without breaking a sweat,
I have seen people dance as if they were made in that part of heaven where the
only thing they do is dance… need I continue?
It is therefore
worrisome to note that many people are lost in the land of ‘I wish’. They wish
they could be the other person; they wish they had another talent or ability.
Stop wishing you were someone else, and start celebrating who you are! God
doesn’t make a mistake; He purposely designed you as you are for a reason. He
has given you all that you will ever need to make a difference. But until you
look deeply within, until you appreciate who you are, until your attitude
towards yourself is right, you will continue a mediocre. You life begins with
you!
‘A gift is a
precious stone in the eyes of the possessor: whithersoever it turneth it
prospereth’. Pro 17:8.
The verse shares a timeless truth, which is that until you see your
gift as a precious stone, it will be worth nothing to you. It is first about
the possessor of the gift. Those we salute and celebrate are not super humans;
they are folks who have an understanding of how special their gifts (of
management, leadership, innovation, help etc) are; therefore they deploy their
gifts and their prosperity is assured.
How then do you see you? How special do you think your gifts and
abilities are? If you think they are ordinary, then you will deal with them
without due diligence, but if you know they are precious stones, then you will
do all you can to diligently polish them.
There is only one you, and the world needs your answers. We need your
solutions, ways, innovation, grace, care, help, art, skill, leadership etc. You
matter to the world. You have within you, the precious stone that shall be the
foundation for new frontiers. We need you to release your potential, to polish
the gem, to unlock the treasure house that is in you.
My heartfelt desire is that you find grace as you unwrap and polish
the REAL YOU.
