What are you doing in the dark?

As I was walking this morning, I had this revelation. Miss America does not wait for the stage to get ready but she is practicing and getting ready over a period of years. In pursuing your calling in life, you are not just using this time to sit idle and waste time but this is the time that preps and helps you to be ready for the "stage" or right time to walk out your calling with full confidence. So, don't take where you are lightly and what you are doing as nothing. God is developing you to into the beautiful butterfly God has predestined for you to be. During your journey it may be dark but you are being prepared for what God has for destined for you. For example, if you have in your heart to be a doctor, there are steps and practice that has to be completed prior to seeing real patients because the time will come to go into the operation room and meet real patients. Let us remember that God allows thing to come into our path to prepare us for our future. It is not by coincidence what is happening in your life but it is preparation for where God is taking you. Remember it is in the dark that pictures are developed. This is the time where shaping and molding and preparation to be ready for the light-to be seen and or embraced by others. So, embrace the process and times of learning and practicing in the dark to prepare you to walk out the destiny for which God has equipped you to do on the Earth. As you work in the dark, it is only a matter of time, that you will see that all you have done has paid off and was worth every tear, pain and disappointment because of the people you will touch. My sister and or brother remember your Labor is not in vain, there is a future glory that will be explained in due season. Remember to live on purpose for a purpose with purpose.
