The Treasure Within You

From: Bob Gass Ministries 

2 Corinthians 4:7 "We hold this treasure in earthen vessels..." 

God has given you talents and He wants you to use them. They may lie dormant under layers of failure, fear or low self-esteem. You may be aware of them, yet not know how to put them to work. Maybe you've been going from relationship to relationship hoping to find someone who will acknowledge what's within you and draw it out. But only the God who placed your talents within you knows where they're hidden and how to release them.

Delayed destiny is the devil's delight. By not allowing God to develop your talents you play into Satan's hands, living far below your potential. The fact is; you have so much treasure buried within you that the enemy is out to steal it. You never have to wonder about Satan's motives. Jesus said he comes "...to steal, kill and destroy..." (John 10:10)

God can take nothing and create something wonderful with it. Just think: He made the earth from nothing - so imagine what He can do when He has something to start with! If we ask God to help us recognize and maximize the talents He has given us for His honor and glory...that's a prayer He will answer!
