Faith... in song...

"It doesn't matter what you've heard, "impossible" is not a word... it's just a reason for someone not to try."

~ From the song "What Faith Can Do" by Kutless

A friend posted this portion of this song a few days back on facebook, and I was posting one of my thoughts on faith at the exact same time.  I was moved instantly, and had to immediately sketch out something from it... because she and the writers/performers of this wisdom are absolutely correct.

Faith, as we've discussed, is what gives us the ability to see things that we wish to become.  When we look ahead on the road in life, we see what we wish ourselves to be through eyes of faith.  That same faith then propels us to grow and chase the dream.

And it should not be lost on anyone that the words from this line are true: the use of the word "impossible" in any given circumstance, whether in relational disagreements or personal achievements or growth or understanding or reconciliation or whatever, really is a form of cowardice that says to the audience, "I don't want to or don't care to try (whatever it is)."  Nothing is impossible when God is present... NOTHING!  All relationships can be restored, all problems can be solved, all disagreements can be put to rest, all mountains can be climbed and all valleys can be passed through.  There is nothing in the universe that God cannot accomplish, if we will allow Him to work in us.  And the only one I can work on is me... no one else.  I, for one, am willing to have Him work in me as much as is necessary so that I will, as we sang this morning, "love as He loves" no matter who it is that needs it.

Nothing at all is impossible with God in the picture.  Take time today to focus for a moment, quietly, and move back to the place where God is in your picture.  (Please acknowledge that if He is not currently in focus there, it was not Him that changed the lens settings, but you... He is, always was and always will be there and ready to do what He does best.)  Bring your focus back to where it should be, on an accountability to Him and to His Word, and honor the Lord as you eliminate the word "impossible" from your vocabulary, thanks to your blessed faith in God!

God bless you all!!!
