I am burdened that far too many Christians believe that they are limited. I firmly believe that there is no limit to our God given potential. The Child of God is a miracle – an expression of God’s supernatural transforming power, embodying miracles waiting to happen – as God continues to manifest his His power and blessings in you and through you.
There is no benefit to us or to the world if we play into the limitations of social stereotypes of who we should be. There is no benefit to us or to the world if we direct our energy reacting to our critics or trying to prove them wrong.
To do so would be to play small and not live authentically, denying ourselves our birthright to let our talents to flourish. So let’s choose to play big.
Let us affirm that there is no limit to our God-given potential.
We feel limited when we do not see ourselves as being endowed with the omnipotent, omniscient and omnipresent Spirit of God. Remember that we are “partakers of the divine nature” (2 Peter 1:4).
I am not saying that we are little gods, or ‘Holy Spirit jr.’ But we, being made in the image and likeness of God, are made to reflect His glory. We can therefore understand spiritual truths, we can know God’s perfect will for our lives and we can achieve material prosperity and love other people, regardless of what may have happened to us in this world.
As Marianne Williamson points out, “We are all meant to shine.” This echoes Paul’s affirmation to the Christians at Colossae “Christ in you, the hope of glory.” For me, that’s why glory matters.
God [in His eternal plan] chose to make known to them how great for the Gentiles are the riches of the glory of this mystery, which is Christ in and among you, the hope and guarantee of [realizing the] glory.
Colossians 1:27
Christ in you, the hope of glory. That’s why glory matters!
