Life is full of people who have a great gift. And they use
it to achieve a level of success. It seems like they’re living a blessed life.
But eventually it all comes crashing down. And some of them get rediscovered,
and get another chance. And they start to use their gift again. And it starts
to work for them again. But they fall right back down again.
Why do people with such great gifts keep falling down? Because if your character doesn’t grow with your gift, that gift will crush you. Their problem isn’t a lack of success. Their problem IS success.
In Matthew 7:24-27, Jesus said that doing what he says is like building your house on a rock. And when the storms come, the house doesn’t fall. But not doing what he says is like building your house on sand. And when the storms come, the house comes crashing down. You see, everyone has storms in their life. But not everyone’s life is built on a firm foundation.
