Jesus said to the crowd: "No one who lights a lamp conceals it with a vessel or sets it under a bed; rather, he places it on a lampstand so that those who enter may see the light. For there is nothing hidden that will not become visible, and nothing secret that will not be known and come to light. Take care, then, how you hear. To anyone who has, more will be given, and from the one who has not, even what he seems to have will be taken away."
My reflection!
We are all special in the eyes of God and he has created us for a purpose. To know our purpose in life, we just have to search it, test it, research it, and when we find our purpose in life, we should use it to bless other people.
Some of us are lucky to find our purpose early in life and some of us, find their real purpose just when they are about to leave their earthly bodies.
This is the story of Joey Velasco, a painter who in his early life does not know how to use a paintbrush, but was given the talent to show to the world how lucky we are.
Joey Velasco had a near-fatal illness that afflicted him four years ago. He underwent a major operation, causing him the loss of his left kidney. He was devastated. He slumped into a depression like being trapped in a dark, lonely, deep well. He totally withdrew from the world – from his work and social life – he avoided any contact with his friends and even his family – locking himself in one room as a total recluse. He prayed that God could throw him a rope for him to get out of darkness, and he was ready to catch it even if it was laced with broken glass. But instead of a rope, the Lord reached out through the paintbrush and he grabbed it. He finally saw light and new life

The life of Joey Velasco is a story of purpose, and as long as we pursue it to find happiness, no matter how difficult or how devastated our life situation is, we will find peace and a grateful heart. Like Joey.
God bless!
