In life, many people do not reach their full potential. We can become so caught up in our everyday life that it is easier to continue in old patterns rather than change. Yet, we all have a God-given desire to live to our full potential. All of us feel deep down 'There must be more to life than this’. Jesus says, in effect, 'Yes, there is!'. The potential for every human being is great.

Jesus wants you to live a highly productive life. He wants you to produce 'a crop - a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown' (Mathew 13:8). The minimum is a thirty time multiplication. The key to that potential lies in your relationship with Jesus - a relationship that can be as close as that of a brother or sister or mother. You can live a life of real purpose that will make a difference to the world, because of what you receive from Him.

Your potential is not about being driven by ambition or success; it is about recognising who you are in God. As you seek Him and live your life according to His purposes, you will bear much fruit. The more you begin to fulfil your God-given potential, the more He entrusts to you. He wants you to live a life of abundance.
