What have you learned?

Knowledge is something that you can't give to people.  You can talk to them and try to teach them, but if they don't want to listen, you can't force it upon them.  What you have learned is specific to you.  There is not one person who has learned exactly what you have learned in the exact way that you have learned it.  Your special combination of experiences is unique.  Yes, the world says that you are another digit in the system, but each person has their own story to tell; their own knowledge to share.  For that's the purpose of knowledge.  It is to mold each person by their thoughts, actions, and works.  The knowledge that God gives us is a special blessing.  We choose to live each day because of what we have learned.  Both our good choices and our bad ones are a product of our learning. 
What we know and treasure here, during this probationary period, will stay with us when we are with Him above.  Our personalities, our thoughts, our habits-none of them will change.  It is our job to take what we have learned through our experiences and apply them to our lives.  We can choose to be destructive, or we can choose to build up His work.  It is a choice that we must make based off of the knowledge that we have.

What will you choose?
