“Do you not know or have you not heard? The Lord is the eternal God, creator of the ends of the earth. He does not faint nor grow weary, and his knowledge is beyond scrutiny.” Isaiah 40:28
Did you know a pencil can offer lessons on living a successful life?
Some days a pencil might be on-point, and other days it will be dull. It’s all part of life.
Same with us.
Being sharpened will chisel away at the pencil, and it won’t be easy, but the process will ultimately make the pencil better.
Same with us.
Sometimes a pencil makes mistakes. It’s expected. It happens. But a pencil has been created with the ability to correct its mistakes as it goes. But the mistake can’t always be completely erased on its own.
Same with us.
The most important part of a pencil—the part that really matters—is what is on the inside.
Same with us.
A pencil will leave a mark as it goes. Whether good or bad, its mark will be left.
Same with us.
A pencil can do great things—but not by itself. It can only be what it is meant to be—and do what it is meant to do when it is in the hands of the author of its words.
Same with us.
