"And you will be a land I desire," declares the prophet (Malachi 3:12).
Man is like a piece of land: earthy, hard, yet full of precious potential. Beneath the surface lie springs of living water, reserves of energy, and heaps of precious metals and stones. His soil is alive with the promise of abundant harvests, ready to flourish after a proper investment of devoted effort.
To access these treasures, one must first have the insight and foresight to see beyond the surface. One must investigate the terrain and drill with faith, mine, extract, plow, sow, and irrigate to reap the rewarding bounty.
Every human being—beyond the topography of their surface—is rich and fertile soil. It is incumbent upon each one and their companions both an opportunity and a responsibility: to bring to the surface and develop their diverse and fruitful resources to the fullest."
