We have all been created with a unique combination of gifts and talents to fulfill this assignment. And these talents need to be developed and exploited to successfully walk in God’s perfect plan.
The truth is that one day we will all stand before our Lord and we will have to give an account about what we have done with our gifts and talents on planet earth during our short stay here.

In our hurry, hurry world nowadays, all of us can easily get carried away by myriads of distractions instead of doing what God has specially designed us for.
With all the pressure we are exposed to daily, our minds will tend to focus more on providing for the immediate circumstances that surround us. That’s okay as long as provision doesn’t become your main goal in life.
No matter what happens, we should strive to always keep our eyes on our God-given assignment instead.
The wonderful thing about the plan of God for our life, is that it is always the best alternative to go for. No other option can provide us with the abundant fruit and the accomplishment of a fulfilled life than obediently walking in His unique design for our existence.

- Peal away all the damaging influences we are surrounded by
- Aggressively pursue an education that will develop our distinctive skills and talents
- And keep our eyes focused on the one and only important thing:
One day we will stand before Jesus and He’ll say, “Well done, good and faithful servant.”
