The ball is in your court

It has been quite a while but I am happy to be sharing my thoughts with you folks as always. Thinking about the coming Women's Day makes me realise the huge responsibility placed upon me as an individual and on us as adults by God to guide the next generation so they can also live a full life on earth. Each of us has been given potentials and abilities, some hidden while some are evident to all, our duty is to utilize them to the maximum in serving humanity and God. The challenge each of us has is to discover what exactly is our purpose amidst the myriad of giftings we have. You see I have realised that God doesn't give just one gift to one person, but He places a number of choices within you so that you can be able to survive in any given situation. When it comes to your purpose though you need to realise that you cannot do everything so you need to hone one skill that will define you and help you in achieving your destiny. There is a saying that a Jack of all trades is a master of none, this means you can be very good , even exceptional in all you do but your identity comes from one thing that you do better than all else. So one needs to identify and focus on the one thing you feel is your purpose. Offcourse that means spending time sometimes trying out all else and by elimination find out which one is really you so to speak. I remember when I was younger I used to boast of being able to do all handcrafts namely sewing, knitting and embroidery, but because of my ignorance I never focussed my energies on a particular and I almost but lost them. As I have grown I have learnt offcourse and am now purposeful, whatever does not work has to take a back seat,otherwise one risks being a rolling stone that gathers no moss. Offcourse there basic skills that everyone needs in life what I'm talking about is honing the skill to become part of you. In all this I am not discrediting the role of the Father God in shaping and guiding a person's life, because I believe He is everpresent in our lives and always at work in us to will and to do His good pleasure. Amen
