The Power to See Who We Are Becoming

I love superheroes. I know a lot of people do, but for good reason. There is just something about the kind of hope they bring. Like anything is possible.  I just really like them! What I don’t like, was when people asked the, “if you could have any super power, what would it be?” question. I hated being cliché, and I never knew what I really liked the most; they all seemed pretty cool. But I think I have finally discovered what superpower I want.  I know I mentioned this a few posts ago, but I really like what Bob Goff had to say about telling people who you see them becoming. That is what I want as a super power. I want to be able to give someone that kind of hope and encouragement. I want to be able to look at them and see all that they can become through Him. I mean how amazing would that be. It’s a little like seeing into the future, but in a beautifully hope filled way. Can you imagine the beautifully powerful impact that could have on people’s lives? The belief they might see in themselves from seeing who God is turning them into. So often we are unable to have hope because we don’t know what to hope in. We don’t have a picture of what we want. I wish I could somehow show people that picture. I wish I could show them a glimpse of their future self in Him. Give them that hope, so that they could press on towards it. I think that would be a beautifully powerful superpower!
