“Brothers, each man, as responsible to God, should remain in the situation God called him to”
1 Corinthians 7:24
“What lies behind you is history and what lies before you is
future, but these are both tiny matters compared to what lies within
you,” as Ralph Waldo Emerson said. You may not be able to change
your past, and your future is yet unlived, but the present provides you
with opportunities to maximize your life and the ability that lives
within you. You must take responsibility for your ability—no one
else can do it for you.
Are you living a stillbirth life? Are you aborting your entire purpose
for living? I encourage you to take responsibility right now for
your ability. Determine to activate, release, and maximize your
potential for the sake of the next generation. Leave your footprints in
the sands of the history of your country. Live fully so you can die
effectively. Let your life write the speech of your death and give your
potential to the family of man for the glory of God. Remember “well
done” is much better than “well said.” Don’t just talk about your
potential dreams, visions, and ideas. Step out now and determine to
do them. Dare to believe that what you have already accomplished is
but a minute percentage of what you can do. Move beyond the familiar
patterns and experiences of your life to the dreams and plans and
imaginations that wait within you to be fulfilled.
You must take responsibility for your ability.
