Wise use of opportunities

It's common knowledge that our time on this earth is short relatively speaking. Each of us is given an appointed time and purpose. Anyone who knows me well, knows I can go on and on about fulfilling your purpose while on this earth, but that topic is not my focus today. Instead I would like to encourage you to recognize and see the opportunities given to each of us. God has given you a personal stage. Will you use your time and space wisely? Not every opportunity comes with the chance to verbalize a thought or message for the day. Some opportunities come without our even knowing we are on the stage. But others are watching and waiting and hoping and sometimes even clinging to the chance to witness a moment of uplifting and encouragement. If your mission yesterday was to uplift the spirits of the cashier at the grocery store, did you succeed? All the world is a stage, as the saying goes. Did your opportunity on stage yield positive results on the behalf of your fellow man? Use your opportunities wisely knowing that you are called to fulfill a purpose.
