You are an original

"For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the earth, your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be." ~ Psalm 139:13-16 (NIV)

Of all the wonders in creation and revelation, only He would have known the gift that He has placed in you. It's part of your makeup, you were infused with it at creation. And you are in this life to discover it, give thanks for it, and allow it to blossom as you grow, mature and age. Don't be afraid that it will not bring in the money, it will bless your soul with riches that money cannot buy. Don't be concerned that it is not a "proper" job, that's man's definition. God's purpose is that we "do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is - his good, pleasing and perfect will." ~ Romans 12:2 (NIV)

His gift in you is something that you will find meaning and fulfilment in this life. He had meant for you to lack nothing and be completed in Christ Jesus. It doesn't matter how "old" you are. To Him, time is eternal. And maybe, just maybe when you have realised what His gift in you is, you will be able to share it with others that they, too, may receive the abundant life and riches that God has intended.

Each of us is an original. ~ Galatians 5:26 (The Message) There are certain things that only you can do, and these are the very gifts that God has created as part of your being. In this great orchestra we call "life", each of us has been made for a purpose and given a gift to share with others. We owe it to God and to ourselves to live it out in this life.

God bless thee,
