 Objects, tools, instruments are created to produce something.  A pen is meant to write or draw.  Its purpose is to create until it runs out of ink.  It becomes sacred when it writes a worthy story that changes someone, when it draws a beautiful picture that makes a difference in one person’s life or touches humanity. It is fulfilled then.

A piece of wood or a stone is simply there until someone touches it, carves it and turns it into a piece of art, into a useful instrument. At that point, it becomes sacred, sanctified, set aside, and fulfilled.
Each one of us is an individual whose Master wants to turn sacred, to sanctify him or her for His purpose before they run out of life. The Master wants us to have fulfillment, he created us as individuals to accomplish great and mighty things for His kingdom.  For some, the ink will run out quicker than others, but may impact the world. Mozart was 35 when his ink ran out, but he created music that has impacted the world for 2 and half centuries.

What is your purpose? What is your ink going to be used for? God has created you with purpose, with a plan.  Seek His face and know that He is God and that He made you unique to create something that only you can create.  It doesn’t have to be a masterpiece that is world renown, it can be a masterpiece that is seen by only one person, it is the child you raise, the word of encouragement you spoke at just the right moment, the note that you left in your spouse’s pocket for him to discover later in his day, the dollar you gave the beggar that gave him hope, the act of kindness that was seen by the person that came to a point in life where she had lost hope for humanity.

Jehovah Jireh, Our God Our Provider, is in the business of impossibilities. What dream is within you that only the Master can make possible? Use up all your ink to create, even when you are not sure what you are creating.  Let the Master show you how much He cares for you, how much He loves you.  Go out and change the world one person at the time.

Let your dreams come true in Christ. 2017 is the year for Fulfillment!
