What You Will Be!

May the Lord make your love increase and overflow for each other and for everyone else, just as ours does for you. May he strengthen your hearts so that you will be blameless and holy in the presence of our God and Father when our Lord Jesus comes with all his holy ones.

1 Thessalonians 3:12-13

I once worked for a man who had the considerable ability to elicit excellence from his employees. His method was simple. He ignored your past, tweaked your present and praised your future. His concern was how to help you do a better job in what you were currently doing and perhaps most importantly he praised you for your potential and the possibilities! “Do you know that you could be the very best at what you do?” When he told me that, I was encouraged and determined to work as hard as I could to make it a reality.

There has never been an Olympic Gold Medalist who did not believe it could happen! Faith is a part of every human achievement.

Of course the negative of faith is true as well. The man who believes he will never succeed, almost never does. The man who believes that he will never get well rarely does. The bottom line is that if you believe you will fail, you usually do.

Do you believe that the promises God made in the Bible will come true? Do you believe that one day you will be “blameless and holy in the presence of God” when Jesus returns with His holy ones? The reason Satan tries to keep you from listening to the Word of God is that God wants to tell you about your potential in Him and the possibilities of your life with Him forever!

Because of Jesus and His sacrifice, God ignores your past, tweaks your present and praises your future! The glory of what God has created you to become and what He is willing to strengthen you to become is literally beyond your mind’s ability to grasp!

When you listen to God and accept what He says then the door to your amazing future swings wide open as He bids you step through. The most blessed among us may touch the hem of that garment here on earth, but when we exit this life, all who follow Jesus will explode into the Son shine of Heaven!
