Potential starts within

Sometimes, we tend to look at things or persons through their outward appearance. What we fail to see is that these items or people could hold so much potential that we just don’t know about, because of our prejudices. But, do you know that God sees us in a totally different perspective?

There is a related biblical account to that. There was one ordinary, and probably rugged-looking fisherman in the first century time, who became one of the strongest pillars of the Christian faith. And I believe many could identify that that is Peter. One day, Jesus approached him after he finished from his fishing job, and told him that his name, which was previously Simon, would be changed to Peter, which means the rock, and that one day he would be living up to the strength of his new name. Whether Jesus saw something in Peter, or He granted him the capacity to become what he told him, the fact still remained that Simon Peter’s great potentials was revealed because of Christ.

And the good news is that, it’s not just Peter, but each of us, also has great potential within. People may look down on you, or think you’re less important, but take heart that God can reveal great potentials in you, where in fact, He wants to bring out that best part in you. But you have to let God change you from the inside out, you have to let Christ lead you and take control of your thoughts and every area of your life, so that you can truly trust Him in making you the person He wants you to be. Yes friend, you are not a nobody. God loves you, and He sees something special in you. I hope that like Peter, you will also allow God to work in your life in great and amazing ways. :)
