You Can Be Great

-- Pencil and you

The pencil maker took the pencil aside just before putting him in the box. There are 5 things you need to know, he told the pencil, before I send you out into the world. Always remember them and never forget, and you will become the best pencil you can be.

#1) You will be able to do many things, but only if you allow yourself to be held in someone’s hand.

#2) You will experience a painful sharpening from time to time, but you’ll need it to become a better pencil.

#3) Try not to make mistakes.

#4) The most important part of you will always be what’s inside.

#5) On every surface you are used on, you must leave your mark. No matter what the condition, you must continue to write.

The pencil understood and promised to remember all that his maker had said and went into the box.

Now replace the place of the pencil with you; always remember them and never forget, and you will become the best person you can be.

#1) You will be able to do great things but only if you allow yourself to be held in God’s hand.

#2) You will have to go through sufferings, persecutions and become a stronger person.

#3) When you go astray from the Lord, His rod and cane will correct you.

#4) The most important part of you will always be what’s inside of you. You will be sought after when the King of Kings, Lord Jesus is inside of you.

#5) On every surface you walk, you must leave your mark. No matter what the situation, you must continue to serve God in everything.

Understand this and remember to live a life that brings glory to Lord Jesus.
