BURIED TREASURES

Cemeteries or graveyards hide many buried treasures. Dr. Myles Munroe (1954–2014) aptly explains: “Buried beneath … those sacred grounds are dreams that never came to pass, songs that were never sung, books that were never written, paintings that never filled a canvas, ideas that were never shared, visions that never became reality, inventions that were never designed, plans that never went beyond the drawing board of the mind, and purposes that were never fulfilled. Our graveyards are filled with potential that remained potential. What a tragedy!” Buried dreams are buried treasures. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749–1832) dares us: “If there is anything you can do, or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it. Begin it now.” I won’t bury my treasure. What about you? (Matthew 25:14-30).—Samuel Koranteng-Pipim
