The Big Idea:
I’m convinced you have potential you cannot see. God has placed within you the potential to make a difference, to be a blessing, to do great things for His Kingdom. Quite often, we cannot see our potential. We downplay our gifts and talents. We think others are more capable and more qualified. We hesitate to step out in faith and let God use our gifts. In doing so, both ourselves and those we could serve miss out on the blessing.
Main Points:
1. God has good works for you to do that he prepared in advance. You have potential. You have God-given potential. It doesn’t matter if you don’t believe it. God’s Word says there are good works he has prepared you to do.
2. Perhaps you feel like an unlikely candidate to be used by God. Recognize that it’s not really about you, it’s about God and His Spirit. You and I are simply tools in the hand of God. Make yourself available to God. Let him use your life. He’ll take your gifts, talents, time, and resources and anoint them with His Holy Spirit. It’s then, and only then that your potential is revealed.
3. God wants to use your life in ways you don’t know about yet. You have not reached your full potential. As long as you are alive God wants to use your life for his glory and to be a blessing to others.
