How did you receive your opportunity?

When opportunity comes your way, how did you receive it? Did you grab it honorably or ruthlessly? Did you recognize or ignore it. How did you treat those whom the Lord used as vessels of opportunity to your life? Did you honor them or discourage them?  Your conduct in everyday of life and relation with people are strong determinants to the opportunities that come your way. There are categories of opportunity. As believers, we may categorize some as physical and others as long-suffering opportunity. The physical opportunities are those that come through interpersonal relationships with other people as in a person telling you exactly what is on the table to change your life. The long-suffering opportunity takes you through a rough route, painful and frustrating; requiring more hard work and nothing to show forth initially but at the end is an enduring success. So many people in this category lost the opportunity due to impatience, and because they can’t endure. We meet different people every day, good or bad. We should use wisdom and understanding in dealing with these set of people; we also need patience, endurance, tolerance deep insight to understand them.  Some may have it in mind to help you but needed to assess your personality before entrusting you with responsibility. It might be easy or frustrating. But do not easily fall to negative vibes you are receiving, but the opportunities you can get from them. Remember the way life is, the so call frustrating man may be your God’s sent. As a child of God pray for wisdom to be able to deal with people and maximize every opportunity that comes your way, because opportunity is precious, once lost  may never be regained .
