Expecting Potential


Philippians 3:13 & 14

Forgetting the past looking to what's ahead,
I keep trying to reach the goal God has led;
To get the prize for which God has for me,
Through Jesus Christ who has set us free;
I don't feel on taking people as they are,
Appearances can deceive seeing from afar;
Take them as they can be or ought to be,
Maybe the good in some can be hard to see;
Don't say that this is it and that is all,
Unseen hazards can make you trip and fall;
Why do you bother to settle for much less?
Of potential success in what God will bless;
Look at potential that you're able to do,
Could be a surprise in finding a new you;
Expect the unexpected when going all out,
Or just feeling grounded if having a doubt;
Expectation and hope will give help release,
Your hidden talent within that won't cease;
God will help you to open up to be creative,
Ensuring progress in making life productive.
