Have you ever contemplated on how the difference in purpose sometimes results in so much difference in value.
More so,the status of someone can make so much difference in the value of an item. ❓❓

Two dresses can have the same colour, e.g white in this example, but the difference in their purpose can make so much difference in how they are valued. On my wedding day I hired a dress for a value that could get me 3 or more standard outfits I could use for months, but I thought it was a very reasonable value for a dress that I was going to use for one day only. The purpose made all the difference.

What then if you consider the wedding dress worn by Kate Middleton when she married the future king of England❗️It cost a whooping $434 000. That can get me and my extended family a lifetime of outfits , but her status made the difference.

🎾A regular tennis ball costs between $5 and $10, but after passing through the hands of Serena Williams , a tennis ball she signed was going for more than $600. 🏌🏻A golf ball which commonly costs $5 ,after passing through Tigger Woods’ hands at Augasta national golf club on 14 April 2019, they were expecting to sell it at between $200 000 and $500 000. It’s their status which makes the difference . Can you compare the price of a soccer ball used by our boys in the local playground and the one used by David Beckham. ⚽️

Do you realize how our value can change and increase if we changed from a lower purpose to a higher purpose. From a temporary to an eternal purpose .
More so if we give our lives into the hands of the greatest of the great beings of this universe. The one from whom all greatness originates. The master designer himself. Then our value would be infinite and we will appreciate why the things of this finite world with their assumed grandeur, do not define our value, for they are but tiny drops in the ocean of value the master designer has bestowed on us.

For ye are bought with a price, therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s .( 1 Corinthians 6:20)

⭐ I was going through my daily reading it occurred to me how the reading culture can make a difference in the way we strive to achieve our ultimate purpose, as some famous speaker said once," knowledge is power."

👑And the 'Master Designer ' as I like to call our creator and the custodian of our ultimate purpose, had something to say about it several times,

e.g 2 Timothy 2:15 KJV
"Study to shew thyself approved."

👥Ever experienced how you relate to some great minds by sharing their thoughts through their written pages. One day I was watching the news and there was a report on the Prince Charles of England, I felt as if they were talking about a very familiar figure, but on analizing that feeling I realised it was because that week I was reading a book he had wrote some years back so he felt familiar. I have felt that way about several people actually at some point in my life, Nancy Vanpelt, Ted Wilson, Mark finley, Ellen.G.White, ..........the list can go on but these are people I've not talked to in person.

📖Reading someone's ideas through the written pages is in many ways similar to having them come over for lunch and listening to them speak and leave an impact on your life.

🔍How do you like spending some moments in your life with the great minds that ever lived, I know you have several examples, I have mine too, But non can direct your mind better than the Master designer Himself. The more time we spend sharing his ideas through his written word, absorbing the light that illuminates from his being, the more we are going to be in harmony with his purpose for creating us.

This guy is using the stethoscope in a very wrong way. I don’t know what made him believe they can be used for knocking on doors, or maybe he’s Eve’s drooping, but that contact against hard surfaces can damage the chest piece ,even affecting the sound quality of that thing. Maybe he is not familiar with the instrument after all. For I have come to realize that in many cases, “without the knowledge of use , abuse is inevitable.”

If we don’t familiarize ourselves with the ultimate purpose for our existence, we risk abusing it. Exposing it to experiences that might damage our sound quality, such that the information that should be gathered along the way becomes unpopular to us, we begin to prefer foreign sounds , even affecting the possibility of us fullfiling the purpose for which we are here.

How I pray that we avoid abusing our existence, and remain efficient stethoscopes to the inner sound of the words of wisdom and instruction.

(Proverbs 1:7) The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, but fools dispise wisdom and instruction.

Ever wondered why you are doing some things or why you are even wherever you are? You are not alone in that dilemma. 🤔

I have always had an extra ordinarily inquisitive disposition, always wanting to know more and have a better understanding of things. Of course that made it difficult for me to just take in information as given, many a times people complained that I was too argumentative. During one of my junior secondary maths lessons , I asked my teacher if it was really necessary for us to learn bases, and that if it was he should explain to me how they are going to be useful in our future careers. Mr Njiko, our soft spoken teacher just smiled. I now understand he didn’t have the obligation to answer that, those who went on to do physics would understand that in their future careers.
🙇But sometimes the lack of purpose takes away the excitement and energy from us to pursue goals . Even the wisest man who ever lived pondered on this question, (Ecclesiastes 1:14) “ I have seen everything that is done under the sun, and behold, all is vanity and a striving after wind.”
❗️Good for him that he later got the ultimate purpose. It is my hope and prayer that we live to archive the ultimate purpose for our very existence.

I have realized with a high level of conviction that we each have a purpose for as long as we live. We need to figure out how not to disappoint. Welcome to my space , will try to remind each other about the tiny bits regarding the purpose and we can share how best we can work towards success in our endeavors not to disappoint the master designer.
