Listen Later

Morning, afternoon, evening whatever the case maybe, Donna here for you personally!

I do not own the rights to this music, but it has been a long time since I took this Daily Faith Walk with you, yes, yes, a little Eric B. & Rakim with I Know You Got Soul.

Well, the powers that be knows you have gifts, talents, and abilities.    

 Episode 37:     Whether You Stay or Go G.R.O.W! You got SOIL

The Holy Spirit woke me up this morning, and whispered, “It is not where you are planted but where you G.R.O.W. The acronym used was, grow where God’s Right Opportunities Work!

Then He proceeded to bring the parable of the talents in Matthew 25:14-30 to the 21st Century.

QUESTION: Have you asked yourself, why haven’t I met any goals or dreams yet in this place or thing?

Let us say Warren Buffett picked three people out of a  thousand, and you were one.  Then he gave five (5) talents to one person, two to another and one to you. Notice here the Boss man gave the same tools and resources just in different measures, and later we see he gave the same rewards.

So, off the workers go the person with five (5) talents said,  I heard Atlanta was a good place to invest my five talents, but I have no connections. Alright, I must use my gifts, talents, and abilities right where I am. And with taking a calculated risk it paid off giving the person with five (5) talents ten (10).  Now the one with two talents, thought the same way, I have no connections here, so I will relocate to Atlanta and take a calculated risk and network with some folks before making the move, and that person gain two more talents.

Last but not least, the third person did not take a calculated risk, instead  stayed in a “comfort zone” or should I say “self-doubt” stage. Assuming that the boss was a shady businessperson, made excuses for his fears, and doubts, such as It is the environment, covid-19 got me depressed, I am a person of color, on and on. 

QUOTE: There is a few quotes that addresses the issue:

  1. William Shakespeare said, “Our doubts are traitors, and make us lose the good we often might WIN, by fearing to attempt.” Sounds like failure to launch or leap.

         2. Sylvia Plath says, “The worst enemy to creativity is “self-doubt”. We keep that enemy too close sometimes.

          3- Last, but certainly not least one of my late and great mentors Dr. Myles Munroe say in one of his messages, titled The Key to Living Your Future, that, “The greatest threat to your future is your past. "The takeaway here is to make “calculated risks,” never allow fear to keep you from trying, and know that your boss made the risk assessment, by choosing the three people and the return on his investment. Note to self: DO NOT live a revision of the VISION God gave you!
