What is Potential?


Potential is dormant ability, reserved power, untapped strength, unused success, hidden talents, capped capability.
Potential is all you can be but have not yet become. It's all you can do but have not yet done. It is how far you reach but have not yet reached. It's what you can accomplish but haave not yet accomplished. Potential is unexposed ability and latent power.
Potential is therefore not what you have done. But what you are yet to do. In other words, what you have done is no longer your potential. What you have successfully accomplished is no longer potential.
It is said that unless you do some thing beyond what you have done, you will never grow or experience your full potential.
Potential demands that you never settle for what you have accomplished. 
One of the greatest enemies of your potential is success. In order to realize your full potential, you must never be satisfied with your last accomplishment.
It is also important that you never let what you CANNOT do interfere with what you CAN DO. 
The greatest tragedy in life is not death, but a life that never realized it's full potential. You must decide today not to rob the world of rich, valuable, potent, untapped resources locked away within you.
Potential never has a retirement plan.
YOU ARE MORE THAN WHAT YOU HAVE DONE
Shalom!

Your Life, Relationships, and Resources Belong to God

Stewardship is more than managing money; it’s about recognizing that everything you are and everything you have belongs to God. Your life, time, relationships, and even your emotions are divine trusts, not personal possessions. Psalm 24:1 reminds us, “The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it.” When you understand this truth as a youth, it changes how you make choices, treat people, and handle opportunities. In dating and relationships, stewardship means honoring God with your heart and choices. You don’t date to fill loneliness; you date to reflect purpose. Your emotions should be guided by wisdom, not impulse. When you see your partner as someone God trusts you to treat with dignity, purity, and patience, your approach changes. You begin to love responsibly and communicate with respect, knowing you’ll give an account for how you handle another person’s heart. For singles, stewardship includes how you use your time and gifts while waiting. Every ...

Youths and Emotional Boundaries

In today’s culture where emotions often lead and convictions take the backseat, many singles and youths find themselves entangled in relationships that slowly pull them away from God rather than draw them closer. It’s easy to get swept up in the excitement of romantic attention and companionship, but without clear spiritual boundaries, you may end up sacrificing your devotion, purity, and even your purpose. The truth is, who you allow into your heart can either fan the flame of your love for God or quietly quench it. Not every connection is meant to carry you forward in your spiritual journey. Some are weights, not wings. God has standards—not to restrict us, but to protect us. Maintaining spiritual boundaries means deciding ahead of time that your walk with God will not be compromised for temporary affection or unguided passion. It’s choosing prayer over pressure, purpose over pleasure, and worship over wandering emotions. When you begin to sense that a relationship is making you too ...

Time, Talents, and Treasures: Ticket For True Love

Before stepping into a relationship, it’s important to pause and reflect on what God has already placed in your care—your time, your talents, and your treasures. These three areas shape how you live, love, and lead in purpose. The way you handle them as a single person reveals how prepared you are to love rightly and build a purposeful relationship. Ecclesiastes 3:1 says, “To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven.” Your single season is not a waiting room; it’s a building ground. How you invest your time now—through prayer, learning, service, and self-growth—determines your readiness for love later. If you waste your time chasing validation or distractions, you may carry emotional emptiness into the next phase of your life. Redeem your time by prioritizing what strengthens your relationship with God and your purpose. Your talents are divine gifts meant to be discovered and developed before you share your life with someone else. Matthew 25:14-30 teaches abo...
