While surfing around the Interwebs this morning I came across this reflection, that I wanted to share with you all. Click here for the complete post.

Materials have a yield strength (the stress under which they will yield) but in many cases materials fail at applied stresses below their yield strength. We Christians have also a spiritual yield strength—a spiritual potential--but in many cases fail to reach that potential because we fail at spiritual levels way below what we are capable of.
