I'm not a Bob Marley fan, nor could I tell you one song he sings; he is a musician, right? Anyway a friend posted the following quote of his on Facebook this morning and it really resonates with me as I wait to hear back about a potential job.
"To love is to risk not being loved in return. To hope is to risk pain. To try is to risk failure, but risk must be taken because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing." Bob Marley
Matthew 25:14-30
"For it will be like a man going on a journey, who called his servants and entrusted to them his property. To one he gave five talents, to another two, to another one, to each according to his ability. Then he went away. He who had received the five talents went at once and traded with them, and he made five talents more. So also he who had two talents made two talents more. But he who had received the one talent went and dug in the ground and hid his master's money... (no risk) you should get out your bible and read the rest of that one!!! Not a good turn out for that guy.
Ecclesiastes 11: 4 - 6
He who observes the wind will not sow, and he who regards the clouds will not reap. As you do not know the way the spirit comes to the bones in the womb of a woman with child, so you do not know the work of God who makes everything. In the morning sow your seed, and at evening withhold not your hand, for you do not know which will prosper, this or that, or whether both alike will be good.
1 Timothy 6: 9-10
But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation, into a snare, into many senseless and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction. For the LOVE OF MONEY is a root of all kinds of evils. It is through this craving that some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many pangs.
