What is impossible for mortals is possible for God.
Do we look at what is possible or one's potential? Jesus said is was hard for wealthy people to
enter heaven. "Indeed, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone
who is rich to enter the kingdom of God." This astounded the disciples. But Jesus reminded them
that all things are possible with God.
God needs more people who see the potential and the possible. Christ's church needs more people
with a possible attitude!
Ron Newhouse
(Luke 18:27
NRSV)
There is a true story about a very diplomatic young man who arrived unannounced at a certain
young lady's house. She came to the door with her hair "teased" in about six million directions.
Her hair looked like she might have accidentally inserted her finger in a light socket. It was a very
awkward moment. There was nothing she could do but try to make light of the situation, so she
asked good-naturedly, "How do you like my hair?" He stood there for a moment and then
replied, "It looks as if it's about to become something wonderful."
Lord Jesus, help me to look beyond my own limitations to see what is possible.
Amen.
