So Abram went, as the LORD had told him; and Lot went with him. Abram was seventy-five years old when he set out from Harran. He took his wife Sarai, his nephew Lot, all the possessions they had accumulated and the people they had acquired in Harran, and they set out for the land of Canaan, and they arrived there. — Genesis 12:4-5
Everyone is born with potential to be great. However, potential on its own is worthless. It’s only when we act upon our potential that it becomes meaningful. Tests are an effective method for bringing out our potential and making it real.
A person may be born with the capacity to have faith, but only once they are tested do they become a person of faith. Or maybe someone is born with an ability to be a rock for others, but it is only when they are tested that they become a person of strength.
God only gives us tests that we are capable of passing. Every test that we face is an opportunity to become the amazing person God knew we were all along.
