I CANNOT recall the number of times Id settle down in front of my computer or at a desk with a pen poised upon a blank sheet of paper without an inspired sentence to put down. Every now and then I am faced with this humbling reality; I cannot give anything more than I have. Anyone can conjure up something to fill in the blank spaces; but as witty as they might come, that will not change the fact that they are empty words. When it comes to speaking to hearts, answering real needs, being a solution to stubborn problems, etc., no one can give you more than they themselves already have. So Id sit there and pray; Father, please help. Sometimes inspiration comes all at once and at other times after a while. However, as surely as I wait on Him to answer He always comes through... Every human being is limited to his or her experiences and intelligence or intuition and there is nothing new under the sun. Everything therefore is at best a good imitation. However, when we look up to the One who is boundless, our resources will be according to His own riches and capacity. Why Are We Here? No one can tell you as clearly and precisely the purpose of your life like only God can. Before we were formed, God already had a purpose in His mind and based on that purpose He made every aspect of our being. The Bible says we are fearfully and wonderfully made! (Psalm 139:14). We are so precious in Gods sight that He knows when even a strand of hair falls from off our heads! God created everything and holds everything by the power of His word (Hebrew 1:3); the same way he created Adam and Eve and gave them a purpose before giving them a form from the dust of the ground is the same way His words are imprinted in our spirit. There is a specific purpose we have been designed to fulfil and unless we find out what it is from God, we will never know peace or happiness much less fulfilment. Regardless of your area of vocation, to remain relevant and answer real needs you need true knowledge and insight that can only come from God. A Sense of Stewardship There is no place on earth that is Heaven, yet, in some places compared to others, the people are less selfish (or, in other words, have a greater sense of common ownership) and therefore the community or society is more developed. This is such a contrast to the underdeveloped world where even the little patch of land in front of a persons house is seldom considered an occupants responsibility, either by impartation or adoption. If you have no sense of stewardship, either to God or to man, you will most probably never answer any human need but your own of which no one can share the joy or victory. We Stoop To Conquer We must humble ourselves to the truth that we are nothing without Him. We cannot give anymore than He has already given us and He gives daily, sufficient to the day. If you remain humble, you will always strive for more and endeavour for the best that can possibly be given. If you are humble, giving will come easy and receiving to

and endeavour for the best that can possibly be given. If you are humble, giving will come easy and receiving to an overflowing capacity a definite in your life. To those who are generous to what has been placed in their custody (for we are all stewards), more will be added to them. Is it not to be a blessing to the world in the area the Lord has called us to work that we are here for? Our stooping is before the Master, and if we know that He is always with us, we should always abide by His instruction. An Ever-increasing Demand So long as you are called by God, you are to grow from grace to grace, from great light to greater light in every aspect of your life. If you havent seen such light manifest in your life, then you have disconnected from your source of Light. The need in the world for what God has deposited in your life is ever-present for you to fulfil it. With great power comes great responsibility Movie: Spider Man This quote seems to come from a derivative of Jesus words ...For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall much be required Luke 12:48. The point is that you dont get something for nothing. God worked six days and rested for one day. This gives us a sense of Gods work ethic and the manner of diligence He expects from us - for He made us in His own image and likeness. We must all work hard, in every area we have been called to be of service, diligently as working unto God. For He alone can give us our true wages.
