Don’t Waste Your Greatness

Each of us, no matter what our condition, has been created and placed on this earth for a reason.  All of us have been given special gifts and talents to contribute to God’s Kingdom, and the Human Race, which is God’s family.  In today’s world, gifts such as a great singing voice or exceptional athletic ability tend to be highly esteemed while other talents tend to go largely unnoticed.  For instance, teachers have been given the ability and the patience necessary to convey knowledge to others.  Firefighters and policemen have been given great courage and the ability to perform under extremely stressful conditions.  Mothers have been blessed with an array of gifts that enable them to nurture children and hold a family together.  The list goes on.  These are everyday people just like you and me; but sadly, rarely do any of these individuals receive the adoration that they deserve.  Nonetheless, they are truly “great”, as are you and I are when we allow ourselves to be. 

Many have been provided with the gift of Inspiration.  This is perhaps one of God’s greatest gifts, because Inspiration is often the first step to achieving Greatness.  I especially encourage those of you who have the gift of Inspiration to use it to the fullest, because it is you who may have the greatest impact on society.
