On Sunday, my preacher told the story of a young girl playing with Play-Doh, who molded it into an angel. She asked her class what it looked like, and they all responded, “An angel!” Then she mushed it up, rolled the Play-Doh into a ball and asked her class what it looked like. They were stumped, until she told them, “It’s a hidden angel!”
I loved that story! I truly believe that we each have a purpose in life — something we were designed to do, that we are uniquely qualified for and that will enable us to make a difference in this world or in someone’s life. God gave us all the skills we need. They may still be somewhat undeveloped and it’ll take more training, education or experience to really fine tune. But it’s all there inside of us.
I’ve heard before that Michaelangelo said he saw his masterpiece David inside the marble block. He just had to chip away everything that wasn’t David.
So what’s your hidden angel? What do you need to chip away to get down to that angel inside you — what you’re really meant to be?
