Well, since the God people believe in is imaginary (unlikely to have much connection to a real God if one exists), there are as many ways to describe God as are consistent with your conception of her.
Human potential is rarely maximized, so an omnipotent God who wants it maximized is unlikely. The vast majority of humanity is capable of more.
