The Graveyard of Potential

The wealthiest places on earth are not the oil fields of the Middle East nor the diamond mines of South Africa. The wealthiest places are the cemeteries. Buried in the ground are businesses that were never formed, songs that were never sung, books that were never written, potential that was never realized, and dreams that never came to pass.

Friend, don’t let that be you! Don’t go to your grave with your treasure still in you. Keep growing; keep learning. Step out in faith and trust God. Aspire to bring forth the goodness and talent that He has placed within you.

If you don’t know where to start, start by meditating on what God says about you; what He wants for your life. Study His word and let Him speak to your heart. Seek to hear His voice and learn to obey quickly. Trust that He is good and that He will lead you down a great path.

Today, thank your Creator for all of the potential He’s deposited in you, and take it one step further by being faithful to develop that which He entrusted to you. Let Him guide you and introduce you to the people and experiences He lined up for you along the way, to encourage and support you in fulfilling His plan for your life.
