I need you to give more attention to your talent and potential. It is your responsibility to understand what God has given you. Perhaps you are wasting your life doing nothing with all you have. God packaged some things in you for the good of this world - use them. We will never know the wealth God planted in you until you bring it up. There's always some thing in you that we haven't yet seen because that's the way God thinks.  Release your ability before its too late. Use the power and strength within you for the good of your self and others. I believe there are books, songs art works, businesses, poems, inventions and investments in you that God intended for this generation to enjoy through you. Don't give up until you lived out the full extent of your potential, because you have no right to die with the talent in you - un-used. Don't rob the next generation of the wealth, treasure and tremendous gifts buried deep within you.  If you want...

1 Timothy 4:14 (KJV) Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy. Suppose... Suppose Shakespeare had died before he wrote his poems and play - the potential of Macbeth would have been buried. Suppose Michelangelo had died before he painted the Sistine Chapel or Da Vinci the Mona Lisa - the beauty of their paintings would have been lost. Suppose Mozart had died with all that music in his bosom. Suppose Moses had died before he saw the burning bush. Suppose Paul had died before he met Jesus on the Damascus Road. Suppose Abraham died before Isaac was born. How different the pages of Scripture and history would be. Suppose Martin Luther had died without writing the thesis. Suppose Charles Wesley died without penning the hymns. Suppose John Wycliffe died without translating the Bible to English. How different the history of the Church might have been.  Can you imagine how many great work of art, music and literature are buried in the grav...

Potential is the substance of your talent.  Your potential is always  present, waiting to be exposed. It demands that you never settle for what you have accomplished. One of the greatest enemies of your potential is SUCCESS. God wants you to maximize the potential He has given to you. You are not yet what you are supposed to be - though you may be pleased with what you now are.  Don't accept your present state in life as final. Because it's just that, a state. Don't be satisfied with your last accomplishment, because there are many accomplishment yet to be perfected. Since you are full of potential, you should not be the same person next year that you are this year. Never accept success as a lifestyle, it is but a phase. Never accept an accomplishment as the end, it is but a mark in the process. Because you are God's offspring, there are many selves within you that lie dormant, untapped and unused. Your primary problem is that you do not think like God...
