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."
"One:
You will be able to do many great things, but only if you allow yourself to be
held in Someone's hand."
"Two:
You will experience a painful sharpening from time to time, but you'll need it
to become a better pencil."
"Three:
You will be able to correct any mistakes you might make."
"Four:
The most important part of you will always be what's inside."
"And
Five: On every surface you are used on, you must leave your mark. No matter
what the condition, you must continue to write."
The
pencil understood and promised to remember, and went into the box with purpose
in its heart.
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.
One:
You will be able to do many great things, but only if you allow yourself to be
held in God's hand. And allow other human beings to access you for the many
gifts you possess.
Two:
You will experience a painful sharpening from time to time, by going through
various problems in life, but you'll need it to become a stronger person.
Three:
You will be able to correct any mistakes you might make.
Four:
The most important part of you will always be what's on the inside.
And
Five: On every surface you walk through, you must leave your mark. No matter
what the situation, you must continue to do your duties.
Allow
this parable on the pencil to encourage you to know that you are a special
person and only you can fulfill the purpose to which you were born to
accomplish.
Never
allow yourself to get discouraged and think that your life is insignificant and
cannot make a change.
