Nothing is Impossible

“For nothing will be impossible for God” (Luke 1:37).  This verse we heard in this weekend’s Gospel is so simple yet so profound.  Do we really believe it?  There are no limitations to what God can do.  What if we truly believed this and lived fully in this truth?

How often do we see a certain situation in our lives or dream up an idea only to then be filled with doubt because it seems impossible?  How many times do we feel like giving up on something because we believe that it simply cannot happen?  Oftentimes, our human minds put limitations on who God is and what He can and wants to do in our lives.

What about each of us?  God wants to do the impossible in us and through us.  God used Mary to do great things and He wants to use us too.  How often do we doubt God’s ability to use us in big ways?  We think of all the things that we cannot do.  We’re not holy enough, not strong enough, too young, or too old.  The list goes on and on.  When these doubts start to sneak in, this is when we have to remember that, for God, nothing is impossible.  When we are open to God, He will use us for His glory.  When we allow Him to fully come into our lives, there are no limits to what He will do.  

God is mighty and powerful.  When we move past our limited thoughts and ideas and let God in, He will do great things and work in us in ways we never thought were possible.  We need to have faith and pray boldly and in big ways.  It is then that we will remember that He is good and nothing is impossible for Him.
