“Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of Him to whom we must give account”
Hebrews 4:13
I believe earth itself is a museum. Each of us comes into this
world with an assignment to fulfill. God commissions us to leave for
the following generations something from which they can learn and
be inspired. The abilities to complete these assignments lie within
us. The tools are our natural talents, gifts, and ambitions.
Throughout time, the great and small works of individuals—be
they paintings, books, music, poetry, drama, architecture, inventions,
or the development of theories—have affected the lives of many. All
who have helped to shape our society’s destiny—the giants who
teach us and inspire us—used their potential with a passion and
refused to let circumstances dictate their future. Museums are a constant
reminder that someone lived who refused to let death have the
final word on their potential. Their released potential is the world’s
inheritance.
Unless you accept the responsibility for activating your abilities,
the next generation will enter the museum of life and notice a vacant
space in earth’s displays. The sign below the placed reserved to display
the fruit of your potential will read: “Assignment unfinished.
Potential unreleased.”
Each of us comes into this world with an assignment to fulfill.
