You're a Person of Great Worth

Many people are passed by because others don't see what is in them. But God has shown me what's in me, and I know it's in you too. My job is to say: "Can you see what's I  you? Do you know your potential?  There's a wealth of potential in you"

Has your family told you that you are nobody? Have you been told so many times that you will amount to nothing that you have begun to believe it?
When the the world dumps and rejects you,  and you land on the garbage heap of the world,  God comes to you. He looks deep within you and sees a person of great worth. Don't ever let anybody throw you away. You are not junk. God sees things that everybody else ignores. The Spirit of God connected to your spirit is the only true judge of your worth. Don't accept the opinions of others.

"I praise You because I am fearful and wonderful made; your works are wonderful,  I know that full well

No one can make You

Too often we believe the lies we are told. When we start believing that others say, we are in big trouble.
People call us lazy,  careless and stupid. We become lazy,  careless and stupid. Watch it! What others look at is not important. Who we are depends on what God sees.

It is our attitudes that make the difference. No one can make you rowdy or careless or thoughtless. You are rowdy or careless and thoughtless because you choose to be.
Only you can control how you act. You've got the potential to be considerate and sensitive.

" for I know the plans I have for you,  declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not harm you,  plans to give you and a future" Jeremiah 29:11

You Are Greater

You will never discover who you were meant to be if you another person to find yourself. If you want to know who you are, look at God, look at Creator, not the creation.

How you feel or what others say about you is not important. You are who God says you are; He sees in you more than you can possibly imagine.
Your potential is much greater than what you are right now. What we will become is much more than we could  ever believe now.

The key to understand life is in the Source of life,  not in life itself.
"So God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them" (Genesis 1:27)

One Source

"What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun" (Ecclesiastes 1v9)

There's a guy in China right now who is thinking about the idea you thought was yours.  Because everything comes out of God,  each of you with same idea all received it from same Source.
Until that idea is transformed by action,  God will  continue to leak that idea into men and women. Why?  Because God is a God of potential.

Although He is  the source of all things, He shares His omnipotent powers with His creation.
We, like God,  are pregnant with many things. We are full of imagination,  having the potential power to be more than we visibly are.
There are dreams, visions, plans,  and ideas in us that need to be released.

New Path of Success

Perhaps you are wasting your life doing nothing with all you have. God package some things in you for the good of the world- use them.  We will never know the wealth God planted in you until you bring it up
There's always something in you that we haven't  yet seen because that's the way God thinks. Use the power and strength within you for the the good of yourself and others.

Don't give up until you have lived out the full extent of your potential, because you have no right to die with our things.

If you want to succeed, strike out on new paths. Don't travel the worn paths of accepted success. No one can climb beyond the limitations of his belief. Every day sends to the grave obscure men and women whom fear prevented from realizing their true and full potential.

SUPPOSE......

Suppose Shakespeare had died before he wrote his poems and Plas- the potential of Macbeth would have been buried. Suppose Michelangelo had died before he painted the Sistine Chapel or Da Vinci the Mona Lisa-  beauty of their paintings would have been lost.

Ca  you imagine how many great works of art, music and literature are  buried in the graveyard  near your house?  Can you imagine how many solutions to the problems we face today are buried with someone you knew?
People die without getting out their full potential. They fail to use all that was stored in them for the benefit of the world.

What would the world have lost if you had not been born?  What will the world lack because you fail to live out your potential?  Will you  carry songs,  music, books, inventions, cures or discoveries to your grave?

Potential is always Present

Potential is always present, waiting to be exposed.
It demands that you never settle for what you have accomplished. Dont accept your present state in life as final, because is just that a state. Dont be satisfied with your last accomplishment,  because there are many accomplishments yet to be perfected.

Since you are full of potential, you should not be the same person next year that you are this year.

Never accept success as a lifestyle- it is but a phase. Never accept an accomplishment as the end- it is but a mark of progress.  Because you are God's offspring,  there are many selves within you that lie dormant,  untapped unused.

There lies a tragedy of life.  The minute we begin to settle down and be satisfied with what we have, we lose the the of revealing what is inside.
Too often we die without exploring our gifts, abilities,  and successful. Our thoughts, ideas, and possibilities are not used. We are like batteries in a radio that never played-our potential is wasted

Understand your Potential

To understand your potential, let us look at one of the most powerful elements in  nature....the seed.
God created everything with potential,  including you.  He placed the seed of each thing within itself,  and planted within each person or thing.  He created the ability to be much more than it is at any one moment.  Thus,  everything in life has potential.

He is God of the principle.  Everything begins as potential.
God made one person-not a million people.
He started with one seed. Then from that one He created another.  Then He said "Bless you (that means, 'You have My Permission'). Be fruitful and multiply and replenish the earth

Deposit your Potentials

"Now it is God who has made us for his very purpose and has given us the Spirit as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come" 2 Corinthians 5v5

Your potential was not given to you to deposit in grave. You must understand the tremendous potential you possess and commit yourself to maximise it in your short lifetime. 

Potential is not what you have done, but what you are yet able to do.  Potential demands that you never settle for what you have accomplished.

One of the great enemies of your potential is success.  In order to realise your full potential,  you must never be satisfied with your last accomplishment. It is also important that you never let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do.

The greatest tragedy in life is not death,  but a life that never realised its full potential.
You must decide today not to rob the world of rich,  potent, untapped resources locked within you.

Uncover Uncapped Potentials- Reflection

The wealthiest spot on this planet is not the oil fields of Iraq or Saudi Arabia.  Neither is it the gold and diamond mines of South Africa, the uranium mines of the Soviet Union,  or the silver mines of Africa.  Though it may surprise you, the richest deposit on our planet lie just a few blocks from your house.  They rest in your cemetery or graveyard.

Buried beneath the soil within the walls of those sacred grounds are dreams that never came to pass,  songs that were never sung, books that were never written,  paintings that never filled a canvas,  ideas that never shared, visions that never become reality, inventions that were never designed, plans that never went beyond the drawing board of the mind,  and purposes that were never fulfilled.

Our graveyards are filled with potential that remained potential. What a tragedy!

Only a minute percentage of the seven billion people on this planet wll experience a significant portion of their true potential.
Are you a candidate for contributing to the wealth of the cemetery?
Ask your self the following questions:

Who am I?

Why am I here?

How much potential do I have?

What am I capable of doing?

By what criteria should I measure my ability?

Who sets the standards?

By what process can I maximise my ability?

What are my limitations?

Within the answers to these questions lies the key to a fulfilled and effective life
