Power and responsibility

 

Power makes responsibility. You are not responsible merely for what you are trying to do, but for what God has given you power to do. Wake up those slumbering possibilities in your soul; you are responsible for all these. Stir up the unused, inactive gifts that are in you; you are responsible for these. The things you can do, or can learn to do, are the things Christ is calling you to do, and the things he will require at your hand when he comes again. It is time we were understanding life’s meaning. God gives us seeds, but he will require more than seeds at our hand; he will require all the harvest of beauty and blessing that the best tillage can bring out of the seeds.
