-
Deep within every mortal heart lies a created hunger for the heavenly mountains of God’s presence.
-
Witin us the Creator has implanted spiritual instincts, tending far beyond mere physical survival.
-
Animal instinct is horizontally, telling them intuitively how to relate to the world around them. Theirs is an instinct toward procreation and survival, toward horizontal relationship and existance.
-
We as human being share that same instinct with the animals on the body and soul area.
-
Man, however, as spirit beings created in the image of God, possesses instincts of an altogether different nature. Within us the Creator has implanted spiritual instincts, tending far beyand mere physical survival.
-
Man’s instinct is vertical, a yearning after the high, the lasting, the eternal.
-
It is a instinct after growth, after betterment, after significance, after something and Someone above us.
-
When in touch with the truest regions of our humanness, we seek the sky, not the earth.
-
The lungs of our spirit, ache to breathe the air of erernity.
-
And though mists obscure our sights, our deepest perceptions tell us there is more to existence than than that which our physical eyes see around us.
-
Something affirms to our innermost being that there are higher regions where we might live, where the air is cleaner, where vision is keener, where the senses come more fully alive.
-
A divine restlessness exists within the innermost chambers of our spirit, stirring us with longings we cannot identify, which we futilety attemt to satisfy with bread that is not food, made from husks that are not grain.
-
All men are sent to the world with limitless credit, but few draw to their full extent.
-
We are created with full potentiol in us - a destiny - a purpose.
-
With a vacuum in us, that will hunger for it; so that we can discover our birthright.
-
If we defined potential:
-
Dorment ability; reserved power; untapped strength; unused success; hidden talents; capped capability.
-
All you can be but have not yet become.
-
All you can do but not yet done.
-
How far you can reach, but not yet reached.
-
What you can accomplish, but have not yet accomplished.
-
Potential is unexposed ability and latent power.
-
Potential is therefore not what we have done, but what we are yet able to do.
-
In other words, what we have done is no longer our potential.
-
What we have successfully accomplished is no longer potential.
-
It is said that unless we do something beyond what we have done, we will never grow or experience our full potential.
-
Potential demands that we never settle for what we already accomplished.
