This story called, “The Parable of the Pencil” by an unknown author has so many lessons for life.

The Pencil Maker took the pencil aside, just before putting him into the box.

“There are five things you need to know,” he told the pencil, “before I
send you out into the world.”

“Always remember them and never forget, and you will  become
the best pencil you can be.”

“One: You will be able to do many great things, but only if you allow
yourself to be held in Someone’s hand.”

“Two: You will experience a painful sharpening from time to time, but
you’ll need it to become a better pencil.”

“Three: You will be able to correct any mistakes you might make.”

“Four: The most important part of you will always be what’s inside.”

“And Five: On every surface you are used on, you must leave your mark. No
matter what the condition, you must continue to write.”

The pencil understood and promised to remember, and went into the box with
purpose in its heart.

Hearing, knowing,  always remembering,  and never forgetting  these five things
can make you the best person you can be.

One: You will be able to do many great things, but only if you allow
yourself to be held in God’s hand and allow other human beings to access
you for the many gifts you possess.

Two:You will experience a painful sharpening from time to time, by going
through various problems, but you’ll need it to become a stronger person.

Three: You will be able to correct any mistakes you might make.

Four: The most important part of you will always be what’s on the inside.

And Five: On every surface you walk through, you must leave your mark. No
matter what the situation, you must continue to do you what God intended for
you.

By understanding and remembering these things,proceed with your life on

this earth having a meaningful purpose in your heart.
