Planted
I think we confuse being buried with being planted. The process is similar, but the results are different. Both journeys involve isolation. Both journeys involve transition. Both journeys are emotional. Both journeys involve change. All of which can be areas of struggle. We tend to fight what we can’t control. We make the journey more difficult than it needs to be. Ask God, “am I being buried or planted?”
Buried Treasure
The Alchemist is one of my favorite books. The main character goes on a journey to find some buried treasure. In the end, he does find it, just not where he thought it would be. Many of us look for treasure where it can’t be found. Many of us bury the gifts and talents that God has given us. We do not take full advantage of all the opportunities that are given to us. Maximize today. Maximize every day, and every opportunity. Dig up those talents and gifts. Brush them off and give them a second try. I implore you to not die a buried treasure.
