Has any of you heard of the Pencil Parable? Well.. It's truly an inspirational story that we can apply in our daily lives..It symbolises how human beings are like pencils under a creator -The Pencil Maker.. So the story goes..
The Pencil Maker took the pencil aside, just before putting him into 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."
"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 great 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. You will be able to correct any mistakes you might make.(erasor)
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. You must always leave a clear, legible mark no matter how difficult the situation.
The pencil understood, promising to remember, and went into the box fully understanding its Maker's purpose.
-End-

Now replacing 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 many great things, but only if you allow yourself to be held in God's hand. Let him be the sole purpose in your life, let him be in total control of your life. Also, allow others to access you for the many gifts you possess.
2.You will experience a painful sharpening from time to time, by going various troubles, problems and difficulties in life, but you'll need it to become a stronger person. Always remember that God will always be with you, through any form of difficulty, regardless the pain and suffering you're going through, bear in mind that God has promised never to leave you. Through these tests, you are driven and moulded to become a much stronger person.
3.You will be able to correct mistakes you might make or grow through them. To err is human. Human makes mistakes in life and this is our human nature and tendecy. But we have the Holy Spirit to be able to differenciate right from wrong and then, correct our faults and remember never to let the smae mistake occur.
4.The most important part of you will always be what's on the inside. Beauty is skin deep. Character, our inner being and moral values are far more important than what's on the outside -physical appearance. God sees and judge us from our hearts, our thoughts and faith, and not from what we do -the kind deeds or actions that we do, of which some may be done with ulterior motives or done without sincerity.
5.On every surface that you walk, you must leave your mark. No matter what the situation, you must continue to serve God in everything. Everyone is made to be special, to possess our own talents and gifts, which are blessed by God.. Use these gifts that God has given you, and honour God in anything that you do, and your life will be fruitful and blessed by God.

Final words..
Everyone is like a pencil.. created by a Maker for a unique and special purpose. If you think you are not good in your studies, or you do not play well in any kind of sports, or you are not sociable, you do not have any friend, or you do not have any kind of influence in anyone's life, or you just simply think that you are a good-for-nothing or think that life is meaningless and purposeless.. Meditate on what I've just shared and you'll probably find that one should look at life in different perspective..That only God can give us answers to our problems and questions, that only God can give us purpose in life, that God is SIMPLY the reason why we should live and that He alone can satisfy our hunger and thrist.. And remember to..
