"THIS TREASURE...IS FROM GOD." 2
CORINTHIANS 4:7
Discover What's
Within You!
Do you know you have
treasure within you? God put it there. It's your unique qualities,
plus the fire in your soul. Life may have thrown
cold water on that fire but God can rekindle it. Note, this treasure
within you "is from God." And what He owns He protects, He
nurtures, and will use to His glory. But God is a wise businessman;
when He invests He expects a return!
It's said that the wealthiest spot on this planet is not the
oilfields of Kuwait or the diamond mines of South Africa. No, the riches
deposits lies in your local cemetery. Buried beneath those sacred grounds
are dreams that never came to pass, songs that were never sung, books that were
never written, ideas that were never shared, inventions that were never
designed, plans that never got beyond the drawing board of the mind, and purpose
that were never fulfilled. Only a tiny percentage of those who live on
this planet will discover and fulfill their true potential. Do you want to
be one of them? Ask yourself: "Who am I? Why did God put me
here? How much potential do I have? How can I maximize my ability
for His glory? Within the answers to these questions lie the keys to a
fulfilled life.
If you haven't found your life's purpose yet, talk to God.
"Everything...fins its purpose in him" (Col 1:16). Before you spoke your
first word or took your first step, God had a plan for your life. You say,
"But I have failed so badly." Maybe, but it's amazing what God can do with
a new broken life - when you give Him all the pieces!
