Dr. Myles Munroe once said that the richest place on earth is the graveyard.
The reason is because of all the people who take their potential and dreams with them to the grave. God has given everyone gifts, talents and ideas but we have a tendency to either sit on them or just let them die. Our environment plays a huge part in this; like who we spend our time with and the things we choose to do.
I some times wonder wow many “Thomas Edisons” have gone to the grave with their light bulb. What all could the world have if we used our gifts and talents the way that God intended us to? I received a letter today from one of my Pen Pals and he included 6 drawings that has done while incarcerated. Wow! What a talented guy. I’m so glad to see him still using his talents. He could easily just take it to the grave but instead he decided to use it and then share it despite his current situation. I look up to him for that. Remember: Paul wrote most of the New Testament while incarcerated too! So for us who have our freedom, what are we doing?
