God has some thing in store for you

[Guest guest]

One of my favorite coffee mugs was broken this week. Not sure how it happened.

Just found it sitting there on the counter with the handle broken off. A friend

had given it to me because it is one of my favorite things. I stood there

looking with disappointment at my handle-less cup.

 

Coffee mugs are made with a purpose. Mugs are made for drinking coffee, for

drinking hot chocolate, for holding pens, for collecting change. They are not

made to simply sit on a shelf and gather dust. When you use a mug there is the

possibility that it will get damaged or broken.

 

Like the coffee mug we were created with a purpose. We were created for

life. We were not created to sit and watch life go by. We were created to

embrace life. The abundant life does not happen without risks.Doing good works

is not without dangers.

Life is for living.

 

When you live life, there are risks.

When you live you may get hurt.

When you live you may experience disappointments.

When you live you may get damaged.

When you live you may get broken.

 

When that happened you chose to press on. do not allow your life to end with a

broken handle. Keep pushing forward.Keep moving forward toward the prize God had

called you to.

My mug with no handle will most likely be reassigned to be a penholder or a

change cup. It has served me well. Many good cups of coffee have been consumed

from that mug. But it is time for this mug to move on to a new goal, a new

purpose for being.

 

What about you?

Has life been unkind to you lately?

Have you considered retiring, sitting out the fight, being shelved?

Please don't.

Take a lesson from my mug.

Even if your handle gets broken . . . press on.

Move forward.

Your handle is broken, but you are not dead.

Keep living.

God has something in store for you.

 

Realize God has a Goal for your life.

 

Recognize that you have not yet Arrived at your goal.
