All Things are Possible!


Jesus said to him, "If you can believe, all things are possible to him that believes." (Mark 9:23)
And He said to them, "If you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move; and nothing will be impossible to you." (Mark 17:20)
Jesus said to her, "Did I not say to you that if you believe, you will see the glory of God?" (John 11:40)
No situation in life is hopeless. Despair and hope are emotional attitudes created by our thoughts, by the way we look at things. They are not created by the circumstances of our lives. We only give up hope because we have yet to believe in the possibility for a change for the better.
I cannot rely on my judgment alone. Fear distorts my reality, and gives me the illusion of despair. It is me who creates my own roadblocks, by clinging to the idea that I can to it all by myself. I am the one who has been putting obstacles in my way. I cannot say that a thing is impossible, just because I haven't been able to accomplish it so far. Once I give up the need to justify myself, and the need to control other people and events, I will be ready to put my life in God's hands. Once I let myself be guided by God's will instead of my own, order will replace my internal chaos, peace of mind will replace my distorted outlook. Love will replace fear...
So have faith and say to yourself, "Something good is going to happen to me this year!"
Isa.
