Jesus Knows Your Potential
"I am come that they might have life." John 10:10
Have the experiences you have been through made you a different person from the one God intended you to be? Have the people, pursuits, and pleasures you chose resulted in a feeling of hopelessness about your future? When you lose your sense of worth, it's hard to believe God could love you - but He does. He knows that hidden inside you is a person who can do great things for Him. That's why He is stirring your heart and letting you know He is moving in your life. So respond to Him in faith. Dare to believe that He can make you "a new creation" (2 Corinthians 5:17 NKJV). Shift your confidence from your own weakness to His power. Trust in Him rather than in yourself. Whether your wounds were self-inflicted or caused by others, Jesus will heal you and raise you up again. You say, "But you don't know the things I have done, and the people I have hurt." Jesus does. And He wants to straighten out the crooked places in your heart and make you whole. But you must allow Him access to every area of your life. When He comes into your heart, you will never be the same broken person again. David's sins became a national scandal. But when God forgave and restored him, he wrote: "Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits: who forgives all your iniquities, who heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from destruction, who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies, who satisfies your mouth with good things" (Psalms 103:2-5 NKJV). Notice the potential benefits of committing your life to Christ: forgiveness, healing, freedom from destructive habits, mercy, and satisfaction.
