The
angel Gabriel said to Mary,
"With God nothing shall
be impossible"
Luke 1:37.Jesus said "….With
God all things are possible."
Matthew
19:26
When will the children
of the Father raise their
sights and accomplish that
which He would give them
to accomplish and to be?
So many in his world today
are content to scour the
ground for things to satisfy
them - food, drink, the
slaking of appetites. But
they are not satisfied.
Nor can they be when they
are designed to be as the
angels in heaven. Those
who seek only to satisfy
only their own desires and
lusts become corrupt and
brutish. The many who live
their lives within the context
of caring for those who
value them, weakly reflect
the purpose and the power
and potential of their loving
Heavenly Father. Those who
strive to live their life
in faithfulness and trust
towards their Heavenly Father
are powered by his love
and stride his world like
a colossus. The Father wills
great things for and in
them, and they rise to unimaginable
heights of promise and achievement.
And that is because they
are one with the Father
by my saving act. Through
inevitable occasional failure,
the stress of endeavour
and suffering in love and
self-giving, they achieve
such deeds and actions as
the Father has set before
them, acting as His agents
to heal and tend and encourage
and to gather in His children.
The light of Our Holy Spirit
leads and accompanies, the
dynamic of Our love enables,
With such of the faithfully
committed children of the
Father nothing is impossible,
for love is the lamp and
the way and the destination.
