Potential: a latent excellence or ability that may or may note be developed
Last Sunday at church, we had a lesson on our destiny. The teacher asked a question about what our destiny, that God has promised us, says about how God feels about us. I related it to how I feel about my kids. When L (my 4 yr old boy) was buckling up in the car one afternoon. The strap was twisted so it was not pulling through all the way. He started freaking out and crying, saying "I can't do this, its too hard". I calmly asked him to take a deep breath. Once he stopped crying I told him to see what needed to be done. He told me it was twisted and I gave him instruction on how to fix it. He told me again that he could not do it. I looked at that sweet boy in the mirror and said "Baby, take a deep breath, you go this". That is how I think God feels when we talk to him and say we can't do it. Fear, embarrassment, being offended, no matter what it is, it stops us from being what God thinks we are can do, the potential He knows we have. He thinks we are unstoppable. When do we stop believing that, when do we stop believing in ourselves??
We are unstoppable, we are enough, we are bigger then the fear or embarrassment. Love yourself enough to be the change, to make the change!!
