My Favorite Quote
Posted by AJErvin on July 8, 2009
Today I was listening to a song that spoke about getting in a place where you can hear the voice of God clearly speaking to you. I began to realize how much this song has inspired me and began to think of other things that have brought inspiration to my life. Something that keeps me focused and has ultimately become a vision for my life. It’s a quote! A few years ago I had the privilege of listening to a preached message by Dr. I.V. Hilliard that was spoken on the subject of eliminating excuses. It was during this message that he spoke something that I have continued to use for my life. He said, “Until I make an uncommon contribution in the earth my existence is unnecessary”. The quote echoed in my spirit and struck a chord with me. You see to me what he said has helped me realize that each of us has a God ordained purpose on this earth. Specifically, I believe there is something God designed for me and only me to do while here. If I don’t do it, it won’t be done. I’m just that unique and He created me that way. Moreover, in carrying out this assignment I am uncommon because you can’t accomplish my assignment. You don’t have the personality and gift mix that I have. At the same time I can’t accomplish your assignment. This quote keeps me grounded. It keeps me focused and I say it to myself often especially in those times when I feel ineffective. We should all have something that keeps us focused.
