For God’s gifts and His call are irrevocable. [He never
withdraws them when once they are given, and He does not change His mind about
those to whom He gives His grace or to whom He sends His call.]
Romans 11:29
If we don’t develop our potential, it won’t get developed,
because no one else can do it for us. Find out what you want to do and began to
train yourself for it. If you know you can write great songs, develop your
gift; arrange your life so you can write songs. If you know you can lead
worship, then practice, learn music, sing with all your mind and heart, and
believe. Begin leading worship, even if you start with only you and the cat or
you and your children. If you know you have a talent for business, an ability
to make money, then study, pray, go to school, and step out.
Whatever your gift and calling, entrust it to the Lord and be relentless in
your pursuit of reaching your full potential. In some way we should improve
ourselves every day. We should go forward, letting go of what lies behind,
including past mistakes and past victories. Even hanging on to the glory of
past victories can prevent us from being all God wants us to be in the future.
Never be satisfied with being anything less than all you can be.

Lord, I recognize that I am responsible to develop and use
the talents You have placed within me. Give me wisdom on the best way to go
about it. Amen
Amen! It is so important to use the gifts God has given us for His kingdom. The hardest part is starting! But make no doubt about it - if we're called, God WILL pursue you! :)
