You know...I am moving in about 2 months.
Looking in from the outside it looks like there are no challenges
but that's because I wont show them to you. Those who know my challenges are very close to me and they know them because I need help. Actually, I have a huge list of things to accomplish. I have things to pay, things to mail, things to renew, things to get rid of, things to pack, and things to print and send. I have a huge list and today I got to check my first thing off of it...only to have to add another to the bottom. I was very discouraged and almost let it stay that way. But I had to go to work. So I had to shake it off!
I just got off work less than an hour ago.
It's hard to believe that I won't be there in two months.
I have gotten close to a few of the residents and will miss them.
Also, I have the best boss. He is involved heavily in Missions.
Today, he called me "little missionary". I loved it. I love that people around me can speak my calling and help me thrust forth.
I was thinking about faith
and the measures of it.
How do you measure your own faith?
Is saying "oh, I don't have enough faith for that"
truth? or is it a lie from hell?
Jesus said that if we had faith the size of a mustard seed...then nothing would be impossible for us.
This all happened after the disciples asked Jesus why they were unable to cast a demon out of a boy.
So-if all it took was little faith...then did they have none?
And when we say, "we don't have the faith for that" are we actually crippling ourselves?
Unfortunately I cannot answer the first question.
I was not there. I did not know them. I have not been given all the details.
But-by what Jesus said...it would certainly look that way.
The second question...however I can answer.
Yes, I am crippling myself when I speak words like that.
If I say, "I do not think I can do it." "I do not have faith for that."
Then-Then I really DON'T think I can do it. Therefore...I wont. I wont even attempt with all that is in me.
Then I really DO NOT have the faith for that....and will not believe for it.
We need to be very careful with our words and thoughts. The Bible speaks much on this. We are to take thoughts captive that are contrary to the Word of God.
if Jesus said nothing is impossible for me...if I have faith....then I have faith. I believe I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. My list is finished in Jesus name! All my needs He meets according to HIS riches in glory! Hallelujah!
