In the beginning, the Pencil
Maker spoke to the pencil
saying, "There are five things
you need to know before I
send you out into the world.
Always remember them
and you will become the
best pencil you can be."
You will be able to do
many great things, but
only if you allow
yourself to be held in
Someone's hand.
You will experience a
painful sharpening from
time to time, but this is
required if you are to
become a better pencil.
You have the ability
to correct any
mistakes you might
make.
The most important part of you
will always be what's inside.
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.
Everyone of us is like the Pencil;
we were commissioned by our
Maker and become the best
person we can be.
We can do many great
things, as long as we
hold on to God's
hand. And share our
God-given gifts and
blessing with others.
As we go about our
mission, we all experience
trials, hardships and even
more painful are the insults
and humiliations despite
our good intentions.
You and I have our
own imperfections
and make mistakes
but our Maker wants
us to learn our
lessons and mature
through from them.
The most important part of
you will always be your
feelings and thoughts of
goodwill.
And everywhere we go,
whomever we worked
with, let us leave a
“mark” people will
remember us by. No
matter what the
situation, we must
continue to serve our
Maker in everything.
Everyone is like a pencil...
created by the Maker for a unique and
special purpose.
May our journey in this life have a
meaningful purpose in our heart and a
relationship with God daily.
