\"Eph2_10\"<\/a>Have you ever thought about yourself as the person you might become?\u00a0 Have you ever wondered why you struggle when you are doing everything right?\u00a0 Have you sensed the spiritual battle around you?\u00a0 The enemy knows your secret.\u00a0 Do you?\u00a0 Your life is more about who you might become<\/strong> than<\/em> who you already are<\/strong>. \u00a0\u00a0Your life is a threat<\/i> to the enemy of your soul.\u00a0 You are important.\u00a0 It\u2019s time to make your life meaningful.<\/p>\n

As we turn the page to Chapter 6, we are beginning to see ourselves as SIGNIFICANT<\/span><\/strong>.\u00a0 I took a survey to see what makes something or someone significant and I was met with blank stares.\u00a0 As I asked more questions, I realized the definition of the word was the problem.\u00a0 Do we not think we are significant because we do not know the definition of the word?\u00a0 What else are we missing simply because we never defined the words in our lives?<\/p>\n

In our study this week, we look at the word \u201csignificant.\u201d\u00a0 Today I want to introduce another word:\u00a0POTENTIAL<\/span>.\u00a0 Potential<\/span> <\/em>is who<\/span> you could become if you pursue who you are meant to be.\u00a0 Please don\u2019t leave this world with unused potential.\u00a0 Use it all up!<\/p>\n
