The Richest Piece of Ground on Earth


The richest piece of ground on earth. If I asked you to guess where that might be you might answer, “the rain forests of South America, (or) the gold mines of South Africa, (or) the oil wells of Saudi Arabia,” and if you responded in this manner, you would be… wrong.

For you see, the richest piece of ground on earth is your local… cemetery!

No doubt, this conjecture may come as a surprise to you. But lying dormant in the bosoms of thousands upon multiplied thousands in any given cemetery are… unfinished, unrealized, unfulfilled dreams. Dreams which might have changed the world, or at least one person’s world. However, such dreams will lie buried in that hallowed ground for a million years, never to be realized.

This is why your local cemetery is the richest piece of ground on earth.

What we do, we must do NOW. Tomorrow will be too late. We cannot stay here. What has God called you to do? What dream has He set within your heart? Where does your interest lie, and what are you doing about it?
