YOUR POTENTIAL AND THE NEXT GENERATION

To live for today is shortsighted; to live for tomorrow is vision................ Several years ago, i was invited to speak at a church conference in Gary, Indiana, on a topic of discovering your purpose in life. Before i was introduced, the host invited a gentleman to share briefly on the establishment of an educational institution that had distinguished itself in that community. An unassuming, middle-aged gentleman stepped forward and began to share a story that pierced my soul. He told of how is mother had failed in an attempt to abort him as an unborn child, and he had ended up living in foster homes all over the city for many years. He emphasised how he had dreamed of providing an environment in which young people could grow and learn so that they would not have to suffer what he had experienced. He introduced to the audience the school he had founded and established - a school that had become one of the leading academic institutions for high school  student in that city.

Imagine if his mother had been successful. She would have killed a school. Despite his past and his less-than-ideal heritage, this dreamer rose above his circumstances and maximized his potential, which is now benefiting generations to come.

............Obeying God's will for your life and fulfilling His purpose is a personal decision, but not a private one because your sphere of influence is much greater that your private world. - Excerpts from MAXIMIZING YOUR POTENTIAL (The Keys to Dying Empty) by Late Dr. Myles Munroe.
