What is YOUR Potential?
by PBR Pastor Todd Pierce

Have you ever wondered what YOUR potential really is? If you are a Christian, then Jesus is YOUR potential. Because of the redemption, YOU are now filled with the same Spirit that raised Jesus from the grave and because you have responded to that Spirit, you are a son or daughter - one who is capable of living the same character and love as Jesus. To many this may seem almost blasphemous, but hear me. Jesus showed the example of what the human potential is, when fully submitted to the Father. He came to reveal the Father to us and then invited us to follow Him in revealing the Father to those we encounter. I'm pretty sure that none of us will fully realize or reach this potential, but I want to spur you on for more. I want you to take another look at your life as a son or daughter and get a whole new hope and excitement in what our Father has for you. Too many of God's kids have settled for lives of weakness and compromise.

If you don't know how much the Father loves you just as you are, you may feel weighed down buy this truth and maybe even feel inadequate. But if you can understand the height, the depth, the width of God's love for you, then you will feel inspired. This is my prayer for you. "Father, to all who read this, I pray that you would reveal yourself to them in a way that will completely eliminate any doubt of your infinite love and acceptance of them. That they would be so captivated by your presence that they would be ruined for life apart from you. Holy Spirit, help them see their worth to you and then show them their potential. We need hope that is anchored in you. Give them the courage to accept the gospel of the Kingdom and faith to see how you can take one life offered to you and change the world around them. Show us what your dream is for us. I pray this with the love You gave me, Jesus. Amen."

In service of the King, Todd Pierce
