Have you knocked and knocked on doors that don’t seem to open? Do you&nbsp;wonder&nbsp;if God&nbsp;still has a purpose for you?<br /> Hint: He does.<br /><br /><strong>I AM CREATED FOR...?</strong><br /> Even unbelievers ask “What am I here for?” to a God they don’t know. It’s because deep inside us we know we were created for <em>something</em>!<br /><br /><strong>We have each been given unique gifts and talents and an assignment.</strong><br /><br /> The question is, are we&nbsp;willing to give ourselves&nbsp;to that assignment? One day each of us will stand before Him and will be responsible for what He imparted specifically to us.<br /><br /> Young people are often the tip of the spear of protests, action steps and even&nbsp;revival. It’s because they want to make a difference. But as we grow older, that zeal&nbsp;can grow cold from discouragement. Is that you?<br /><br /> Let’s look at the familiar scripture in Matthew 25:14-18.<br /><br /><em>For it is just like a man about to go on a journey, who called his own slaves and entrusted his possessions to them. “To one he gave five talents, to another, two, and to another, one, each according to his own ability; and he went on his journey. “Immediately the one who had received the five talents went and traded with them, and gained five more talents. “In the same manner the one who had received the two talents gained two more. “But he who received the one talent went away, and dug a hole in the ground and hid his master’s money.</em><br /><br /><strong>YOUR ASSIGNMENT?</strong><br /><strong>What&nbsp;is your assignment?</strong> It’s connected to your gifts. What has God entrusted to <em>you</em>? We don’t all have the same measure of gifts, but<strong> all of us&nbsp;were born with gifts and talents.</strong> How much they increase is based on whether we use and develop them. As we do, God adds to what we have. But it is up to us whether those talents increase or not. Remember, the one who received ten talents doubled it. The one who received five talents, doubled it. The one with the least amount, buried it.</p>
