REACHING OUR POTENTIAL!

 

REACHING OUR POTENTIAL!

 

There is ONLY ONE WAY

To reach our POTENTIAL

In this life

 

And that is to

STAY connected

To God our Holy Father

And Jesus

REACHING OUR POTENTIAL

With the help of God

 

And with the HELP

Of many others

ALONG the way

 

“Simon Peter-answered him

‘Master to whom

Shall we go

 

You have the words

Of ETERNAL LIFE’”                                                                                                                   John 6:68

 

To live-long-rich

And FULFILLING LIVES=

We need the help of

MANY PEOPLE=along the way

 

Our parents=our teachers

Instruct us in what we need

To succeed and prosper

 

Doctors and nurses

And scientists=

Tell us how

To try and stay HEALTHY

 

Our priest-ministers-writers-

And speakers=

Try to MOTIVATE US

To teach us

How to live INSPIRED LIVES

All those=and many others

Are a BLESSING TO US

 

But we can ONLY

Reach our potential in God

And in Jesus

Reach out to them

TURN TO THEM!

REACHING OUR POTENTIAL!

 

“You Lord=are my lamp=

The Lord TURNS my darkness

Into light”                                                                                                                                        2 Samuel 22:29

 

“You TURN THINGS

Upside down-

As if the potter

 

Were thought to be

Like the clay”                                                                                                                                  Isaiah 29:16

 

“Whoever TURNS a sinner

From the error

Of their ways

 

Will save them

From death=and cover over

A multitude of sins”                                                                                                                  James 5:20

 

I have been BLESSED=

By so many GREAT PEOPLE

In my life

 

But NO human being=

However beneficial they are to us

Can OFFER us a life

 

That we can FIND=

ONLY through the life

In God the HOLY FATHER

And Christ Jesus!

 

It is good=to REACH

OUR FULL POTENTIAL=but only

God can give us=can make us

 

Can CREATE US=to whom

We were meant to be

 

God takes us BEYOND

The moments in TIME

That were meant=to destroy us

 

REACHING OUR FULL POTENTIAL

IN GOD!

 

“The thief comes

Only to steal=and kill=

And destroy

 

I have come

That they=may have LIFE

And have it=TO THE FULL”                                                                                                   John 10:10

 

Lord=like Peter=we say=

TO WHOM can we go?

 

We reach our FULL POTENTIAL=

ONLY IN YOU!

 

 In Jesus’ name=and in the name=of our EVER FULFILLING HOLY FATHER!
