From your very first breath to your very last…
the curtain is open.
This is your portion of life.
Do not sleep through your own performance.
We are live with no rehearsals
we won’t be back this way again
“All the world’s a stage, and the men and women merely players.”
— Shakespeare
From the moment you released your first cry as a baby until the day you breathe your last breath…
it is showtime.
The curtain has already risen.
We are on.
And this is one performance you do not want to miss.
STARRING… YOU!
There are no rehearsals for me anymore.
No second practice runs.
When I step out into life, that very moment becomes the performance itself.
But it was not always that way.
You see, the world has a way of trying to beat a person down.
It attacks worthiness.
Self-esteem.
Confidence.
It whispers:
“You are not enough.”
“You cannot do it.”
“You do not matter.”
And if you are not careful, those voices begin living inside of you.
DON’T BE DISCOURAGED
People who themselves are wounded often wound others.
Many know not what they do.
Before long, some people become so discouraged they stop truly living altogether.
But hear me carefully:
The purpose of your life is not merely to collect possessions.
No.
The purpose of your life is to live a life OF PURPOSE.
WHAT TO EXPECT
As you move through this world, you will encounter doubt.
Confusion.
Resistance.
There will always be forces attempting to silence you…
mute you…
render you ineffective.
It is an assault on the outside hoping to invade the inside.
But I have good news for you.
GOD AT WORK — HE NEVER SLEEPS
There is something greater within you that cannot be manipulated, persuaded or destroyed.
It is deeper than fear.
Stronger than rejection.
Older than the world itself.
I call it by its natural origin:
THE BREATH OF GOD.
THE TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE
Nothing can ultimately overcome the One who created all things and deliberately invited you here.
Your life must be lived in such a way that this inner force leads you.
Guides you.
Corrects you.
Strengthens you.
Then the true path begins to reveal itself while the false ones slowly lose their grip on you.
EACH ONE OF US HAS A PORTION
Every one of us has been given a portion by the Creator.
Gifts.
Abilities.
Talents.
Purpose.
But they must be sought after.
And here is the mystery:
The gifts themselves are secondary.
The true treasure is the Giver.
HE remains the prize.
HE remains the reward.
And with every breath you take, life itself becomes another invitation to discover why you were sent here in the first place.
Did this speak to your heart or life journey?
