was i meant to read it?

yesterday and today every time i would pick up my Bible whether it would be to read it or move it because i was dusting, a piece of paper with the quote: "Be who you were meant to be not who you've allowed yourself to become." kept falling out. so, i started thinking, maybe i'm supposed to be reading this because i need to hear it and somehow and someway it applies to me right now. i don't know maybe just because it kept falling out meant nothing at all but, then again maybe it did. the quote is a very powerful one, at least i believe it is. in Christ we are meant to be the best that we can be. we are supposed to shine like the sun, because the radiance of the son dwells within us. but sometimes i personally cut myself short, i allow myself to be just so so, mediocre. and settle for second best, when all that is done in Christ should be done with excellence. He wants us, He wants me to excel, and yet at the same time remain humble and exemplify the heart of a servant....He wants what's best for me, what's best for you. many times because we cut short or don't listen at all to what God is saying we allow ourselves to become, complacent. happy with the place we are at while on our Christian walk. instead of reaching forth, we're happy to be in park. i need to allow God to bring me to the place where He wants me to be, to the place where i am meant to be for such a time as this, may i not allow myself to become someone who can't follow, can't obey, can't dream, can't get excited about God and what plan He has for me. now, it's possible i'm stretching this quote a bit, in order for it to fit into what i am writing, honestly, this is how i am interrupting it at this point, and that is how it has spoken to me. honestly, i believe i was supposed to see it, read it and think about it.
