Got Potential?

Would someone hire you to run Disneyworld, be the quarterback of the Houston Texans, design the next spaceship, or perform brain surgery on their loved one? Why not?
A friend's son is being recruited by college football teams. ATM, Texas, Texas Tech, and O.U. have all tried to allure him to their schools. The young man is only a sophmore in high school. Why would these colleges invest time, money, and energy into a 16 year old boy, who won't even be eligible to play for 2 more years? It's all about POTENTIAL. The coaches see something in this young boy, that most ordinary people overlook. They know he possesses skills, talents, and abilities that he will grow into.
When God looks at you, he sees POTENTIAL. He recognizes your skills, personality, and strengths. He is leading and guiding your growth in these areas. Just like the recruiters have intentional plans for my friend's son, God has a very specific purpose for you. He knows that you are far more capable of anything you can imagine right now. The young male athlete has no idea that he may be the next Heisman Trophy winner, but the recruiters do.
Allow God to transform your life into His image so you can live out your potential.
Read his word. Discover your strengths. Talk to people who love you about areas in which you excel. Ask God to reveal your potential.
David was a kid who took care of sheep. God saw his potential.
Moses was a murderer who stuttered. God saw his potential.
Esther was a young girl who had no parents. God saw her potential.
(Place your name here) is a woman/man who God loves. God sees your potential.
"I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord. Jeremiah 29:11
