Your youth group students have limitations put on themselves by others, and also themselves. Your students have great strengths and gifts that are held back by their limitations. Let’s recognize these limitations and break through them!
Philippians 4:13, “I can do all things through Him who strengthens me”
Limitations hold us back from what we should be able to accomplish. Limitations come in all shapes and sizes, and take away from our strengths. Let’s imagine for a moment that you are an incredible guitar player, but you have a limitation of pride. You are so confident and cocky in your ability to play guitar, that you never put extra effort into learning more and dedicating your time to practice the guitar. The limitation that you have, being prideful, will stand in the way of you gaining new skills that will take your guitar playing to the next level.
Whatever your strengths are, they can’t develop to their full potential and bless the people around you in the way they could if your limitations were not tied to them.
If you are able to recognize your limitations that you have, you will be able to break through them and your strengths will be able to shine much brighter.
