Taking the Ordinary to Extraordinary

He looked right through him, and He saw potential.

In the same way Jesus looks at you and doesn't see you just for what you are.

He sees you for what you can become.

We see a lump of clay; God sees a beautiful vase.

We see a blank canvas; God sees a finished painting.

We see a lump of coal; God sees a refined diamond.

We see problems; God sees solutions.

We see failures; God sees potential success.

We see a Jacob; God sees an Israel.

We see a Simon; God sees an apostle Peter.

God can take the failures of our lives and use them for His glory.

That doesn't mean we should go out and intentionally fail.

It means that when we do, we can learn from those mistakes.
