Topic: Unleashing Your Potential

2 Thoughts:

1. Unlocking Your God-Given Gifts

Every Christian man was given gifts when he turned to Jesus to be saved. It's our responsibility from that day forward to discover and develop these gifts to be used for the glory of God and building up of His Church. Take a moment, then, to reflect on your strengths and talents and the ways that you are uniquely positioned to do as much good as possible with them.

2.  Overcoming Self-Doubt

Sometimes, the biggest obstacle to unleashing our potential is the voice of self-doubt that screams at us in our heads. When this happens to you, remember that God equips those He calls. He doesn't call the equipped!  When you doubt your abilities, you are really just doubting God's plan for you. Replace self-doubt with faith and trust in God's plan and provision for you. 

2 Quotes:

"Your talent is God's gift to you. What you do with it is your gift back to God."

- Leo Buscaglia

"Don't let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do."

- John Wooden

2 Actions: 

1. Reflect on Your Gifts: 

Take a few minutes today to make a list of your strengths and talents.  Seriously - just take 2 minutes and write down whatever comes to mind.  Now, how can you use them to serve others and glorify God? Write down one concrete way you'll commit to using your gifts this week.

2. Challenge Self-Doubt: 

Identify an area in your life where self-doubt has held you back.  It's ok - we all do it!  The first step is to recognize it and the second step is to commit to overcoming it. Whether it's pursuing a new opportunity or taking on a daunting task - remember that God is with you and for you and wants to take on this doubt with you!  Let Him in.
