The Power of Potential
My favorite definition of POTENTIAL on dictionary.com is ..."a latent excellence or ability that may or may not be developed." A close second is ... "capable of being or becoming." I really like those definitions! I started thinking about POTENTIAL yesterday as I was picking my 7-year old son up from school. As we were walking back to the car talking about his day, I noticed his shoe next to mine. I know ... crazy thing to think about right? But I noticed how his size 4 was dwarfed by my size 12. And yet, it struck me that he wouldn't stay a size 1 for long. Sooner or later, that size 4 would become too small to handle the growth he would be experiencing. The fact is that he has incredible POTENTIAL for growth already built inside of him. And not just growth in the physical realm, but emotional, spiritual, relational, and so much more. It's all packed inside of him by the Lord, who "knit him together in his mother's womb."...
