Jesus replied, “What is impossible with men is possible with God.” Luke 18:27
When I was young, I often thought about the possibilities for my life, believing they were all open to me and endless. As I grow older, I still dream of possibilities, but I am more realistic about it, understanding that life often takes dips and turns you could never dream about or plan for which affect where your opportunities lie and in turn, what possibilities may become realities. These days, I tend to worry more about the impossible than the possible. How is God going to work out this family situation for me, my husband, and my children?
What kind of work will he provide when we leave this island? How will he protect my boys from all the horrible stuff out there that I cannot protect them from? I dream more about their future possibilities than my own now. What can I do to ensure that they know the possibilities are endless, and that nothing is impossible with God? How can I instill that type of hope, confidence, and faith in them? Bottom line is…I can’t control all these things and make sure they happen for my babies, but God can. So, I suppose I’ll just have to leave it up to him and trust him to take care of the rest. After all, as Jesus explains in Luke, “What is impossible with men is POSSIBLE with God.”
