SIGNIFICANCE OF THE PARABLE OF THE KETTLE
Just like that Kettle, a lot of us do not know and are void of understanding of our whole make up/configuration.
We fail to realize that our looks (height, size, color), intelligence, talents/abilities, race, background, etc. all fit perfectly into GOD'S purpose for our lives.
We do not know this, so we begin to compare ourselves with others, wishing we were like them.
Some of us even go beyond the line of wishing to make efforts to become like those we admire.
Your purpose is unique to you and you can never fulfill it by living another man's life.
The moment you begin to wish for another personality, ability, nationality, upbringing, or ancestry, you have begun to despise your true identity. You despise your purpose by wishing GOD made you someone else.
Stop looking down on yourself.
Stop belittling a wonderful being you've been made to be!
You are GOD'S prized possession.
HE carefully and wonderfully formed you.
HE gave you all that you have (intrinsic and extrinsic) for a purpose.
You need to have it in mind that your purpose has in it the destiny right of others.
Living your life meaningfully will help inspire and give relevance to their lives.
If you refuse to live out your destiny, many others may not find meaning for living.
Do not be selfish with your life; determine to live purposefully so others can find a reason to keep living.
