Myles Munroe said that when the purpose of a thing is
not known, abuse is inevitable. In order words, purpose is the manual necessary
for any product without which the product will be misused. Just imagine being
the owner of a brand new machine that no one except the manufacturer knows how
to operate. In your haste to have this product, you forgot to go with the
manual. Now, you are at home and so excited to try out this product but alas,
there is no manual. That product at that moment becomes useless to you. Its
usefulness can only be valued when the manual arrives.
You are such a product. You are so precious and unique
that your type cannot be found anywhere else on the planet but you loose your
relevance and importance when you do not have your manual. Your manual tells
you who you are, why you were created what you are to accomplish and how to
accomplish etc. Your manual in actual sense is your purpose. It is no wonder
people insult you, mistreat you and call you names. They do these not because
they want to but because they do not know who you are. In your haste to receive
their approval, you gave them the wrong manual by claiming a personality you
are not and until this wrong manual is retrieved and replaced, you will be
undervalued.
