We had these lilies in our front yard for two years and they never bloomed. This year we put them in the back yard and look at the result!
There are times in our lives when we must make a move in order to fully express the gifts and talents God has given us. We tried something and it didn’t work as we planned, or we knew that our potential was limited where we were planted. It is then we must take the risk and move to another place. We didn’t know if this lily would bloom when it was transplanted, and were pleasantly surprised when it did.
Furthermore, sometimes the people we lead are not blooming because they are planted in the wrong spot. I encourage all you leaders and pastors not to be afraid to move someone with potential to another place. You just might be surprised with the beauty they possessed if they were only planted where they could bloom!
