Warning: This post is quite nerdy, but welcome to my life. :-) My honey and I are now watching "The Two Towers." In one of the scenes of the movie, Gandalf (a fabulously great good guy) says to Aragorn, a human who is the heir to the human throne, "He is afraid of what you could become." Or something really close to that. He, meaning one of the super duper bad guys. So Gandalf knows the super bad guy is going to go to war with the humans to hopefully stop the potential that Aragorn has.
Isn't that how our Enemy operates too? He knows the potential that we have, but he wants to stop it. No matter the cost. Aragorn keeps fighting the good fight. I don't even know if at this point in the movie he really believes in all the potential that he has. I can't remember how it ends, but I am guessing he has a ton of wonderful things he will do. Isn't that like us though? God tells us He has a plan for us. A crazy, awesome, wonderful, fabulous plan and we don't believe it because we can't see everything. We don't really know what potential we have. It seems ludicrous that God wants us to do ______. And the catch is, we can't do it alone. We have to have God, but he is with us. He will not leave us. He is with us on this incredible journey He has for us.
Do not let your potential be squashed by anyone. Ask God what He has for you. Go after it. Trust in the potential that God says you have, not what you can see for yourself. Our enemy is afraid of what you could become. Thanks for reading. :-)
