Have you ever seen the bored yet imaginative child forced to sit through something that they did not want to attend? They seem to find absolutely anything to do with seemingly nothing at all. So, could you imagine what the possibilities would be if you gave them a fork?
A fork seems like a simple and unipuposed instrument but the fact is, a fork could be used to stab something, fling food, as some kind of instrument, or many other purposes other than eating. However, there is one thing that we do know, the original purpose of that fork is to assist in eating, and that is when it is used at it's best.
Our bodies are in a lot of ways just like that fork. They can be used in a ton of different ways. They can be used to beat other people up, run a marathon, sing a Requiem, and many other things. However, the sole purpose of our bodies is for the renown of Jesus Christ! As the founder of Hope Ministries of the Upstate put it, our purpose is to, "Bring Glory to the Father."
So I encourage you, that even though we can use our bodies and talents for anything on God's green Earth, the purpose and our duty is to bring Glory to God the Father!
