God sees us according to our potential, not our limitations. Jesus called Peter "a rock" long before Peter did anything to deserve the name. God's objective in our life is that we might be conformed to the image of his Son...to become the righteousness of God in Christ. (Romans 8:29; 2 Corinthians 5:21)
This puts us on a never-ending quest for self-improvement...a never-ending quest for holiness. Our purpose each day is to make an effort toward spiritual growth, to become more like him. That's why at Christian Life Center we've made spiritual formation one of our core values.
Let's keep in mind that God already sees in us the potential to become what he wants us to be. It is we who have a hard time believing in ourselves, and believing in his ability to bring it to pass.
This anonymous Mexican prayer expresses both humility and faith in God's ability to work in our lives. Let's make it our prayer, too.
I am only a spark, Make me a fire.
I am only a string,Make me a lyre.
I am only a drop,Make me a fountain.
I am only an anthill,Make me a mountain.
I am only a feather,Make me a wing.
I am only a rag,Make me a king.
