DYING EMPTY

Deep within you, there is a potential that no one might know about; that's your seed, protect it. Your glory is in the manifestation of those innate abilities.

The world might not identify with it at the time, don't pay attention to that. When they catch a glimpse of your light, they'll be illuminated by it. Until then, make it your personal business to plant and nurture your seeds. Even in obscurity.

Your biggest battles will be with everything wanting to kill those seeds, because you know what? It is easier to kill a seed than chop down a tree. That's the devil's role here, to kill the seed so it doesn't become a tree. The devil here might not be a person, it might show up as ideologies, belief systems, popular culture, a wrong environment, or some pleasurable but destructive habits that counteract God's ideals.

If you fall for the trap, you'll not only destroy a seed; you'd have successfully stalled the emergence of a forest. Every seed bears in it a tree, with the ability to bear more fruits; and with more fruits come more seeds which bring more trees. Can you picture the magnitude of damage that can be done from destroying just one seed? That's just a single human potential!

We all came to this world loaded. The grave covets all that richness deposited in us. But please, when your time on earth is done, serve the grave nothing but your empty carcass. No potential of yours should follow you there, so, do everything while there is time. Just do it!
