A
young man in his mid-thirties left an extremely lucrative and successful
business to take a position in another company that appeared more challenging. He
had made enough money to give him a cushion for several months. Two years after
leaving his former employment, he's back in town looking for something else. He
is still looking for contentment.
By mid-life, most everyone begins to
realize some dreams are not going to become reality. It may be that some people
are so inflexible that dreams wither and die from lack of hope or like plants
with little or no roots. In Jesus' parable of the four soils a farmer sowed his
seeds in his field. Some seeds fell among thorns, which choked the tender young
plants.
We
must continually evaluate what we want to achieve with the gifts and talents
God has entrusted to us. Failure to share them will suffocate you like thorns
that choke plants. Listen to Proverbs 11:25. "A generous man prospers; he
who refreshes others will himself be refreshed." As you share with others,
you discover God's purpose for your life.
