Never Settle for Less Than His Best..
In How to Reach Your Full Potential for God, acclaimed pastor and speaker Charles Stanley connects readers with the plan and purpose God envisioned when He created them.
“Things are never going to change” or “This is just the way I am–I’m never going to get better” are just a few of the damaging lies Christians believe about themselves, their situations, and their walk. But Dr. Stanley shares the real truth as God sees it.
In this powerful and inspiring message, readers reconnect with the grand vision God had when He uniquely created them. They learn that regardless of setbacks, failures, and frustrations, there is a better path based in His Word, one that’s full of freedom and purpose. This book takes them to their specifically designed path to become exactly who the Father made them to be and achieve exactly what He designed them for.
“Your ultimate purpose is to bring Him glory by the way you live”
For me personally, this is such a powerful quote by Dr. Stanley. This doesn’t mean we all fall short at one time or another, but to strive to be the best we can and teach our children the same morals.
This book that gives us the “essentials”, the tools to help us with keeping balance with the Biblical principles. Dr. Stanley discusses the 7 “essentials” to live an abundant Christian life:
1. A Clean Heart
2. A Clear Mind
3. Using Your Gifts
4. A Healthy Body
5. Right Relationships
6. A Balanced Schedule
7. Taking God-Approved Risks
This is a Wonderful reference to go back to time and time again! There is such a wealth of knowledge.
The Seven areas of ongoing renewal Dr. Stanley reminds us of:
1. Continually reaffirm your commitment to the Lord
2. Continually reaffirm your priorities
3. Reestablish your disciplines daily
4. Reaffirm your desire to do your best
5. Rekindle your enthusiasm
6. Continually refresh yourself in the Lord
7. Revisit the vision God has for your life
God does have a will, plan and purpose for your life! It’s up to us to seek Him and reach our full potential!
