Looking at them, Jesus said, “With men it is impossible, but not with God, because all things are possible with God.” – (Mark 10:27, HCSB)
Jesus looked at them and said, “That is something people cannot do, but God can. He can do anything.” – (Mark 10:27, ERV)
Jesus was blunt: “No chance at all if you think you can pull it off by yourself. Every chance in the world if you let God do it.” – (Mark 10:27, MSG)
God is a God of miracles and He can do what we cannot. Love, hope and our very existence would not be possible without a loving, powerful and creative God. The One who formed the universe with His own hands and spoke light and life into existence can do more than we can even begin to hope or imagine. Though I have seen the seemingly impossible that God can accomplish over and over again, I still need to be reminded. Last evening, I was provided just such a reminder. My time was spent reconnecting and sharing life with a group of ladies that have not all joined together in years. Incredibly, though much time has passed, we were able to pick up where we left off, as we each shared about the trials and triumphs that God has brought us through. There was much laughter, a few tears, and a powerful peace that comes when God makes a way for His kids to gather. May we ever turn to God in trust, for He is the Way Maker when there seems to be no way.
The Lord makes a way,

Despite how things seem;
He makes possible,
Impossible dreams.
Beauty from ashes,
And hope from despair;
Life everlasting,
In all, He’ll be there.
The hand that holds us,
When all seems but lost;
Strength in the battle,
Love we can’t exhaust.
So look to the Lord,
Seek Him in all things;
Possibilities,
What life in Christ brings.
Dear Heavenly Father, thank You that with You, things that seem impossible are not. Thank You that You make a way where there seems to be no way, and that You bring hope, joy, life, love and peace to places where such things seem non-existent. Forgive us for trying to navigate anything without You. Teach us to seek You first in all things and at all times. Show us how to love those around us in ways that make Your heart known. May many come into a lasting relationship with You. Be glorified O God, as we trust You in seemingly impossible spaces and praise You for holding us up and making a way. Amen.
