There once was a girl from Nantucket who wondered what might lie outside the city limits. What she found there astonished her no end.
“There is a world here beyond what I thought were limits,” she said to herself. “My goodness, there are not even any barriers here to define what limits there might be, because there are no limits at all. I have only scratched the surface of who I am and who I can be.”
For she saw that she already was all she needed to be to thrive in this world. She needed to learn some skills and hone others, but the Lord had already equipped her, much as He had all of us. The Creator does not build junk, although we are certainly more than capable of trashing it with abuse and neglect.
“I leave my imaginary limits behind,” the girl said. “This is the day the Lord has made and given to us. This is the earthly vessel — mind, heart and soul — that the Lord has given to me. Let us rejoice and be glad. Let us see where these gifts may bear us.”
