Possible

What do you dream of doing? What are the things you would do if you did not have to worry about money and you could just go and do anything that you wanted? I would tell you that the answer you have is the dream, the vision that God has placed inside of you and if you do this you will find a life of peace and joy. However, most of us say to ourselves "that would never happen!" To this I say why not? I am sure that if you think this is something that you have to do yourself, you can only look at the impossibility of following your dreams. Have you ever really considered that these dreams are not yours to fulfill but God's?

Jesus looked hard at them and said, "No chance at all if you think you can pull it off yourself. Every chance in the world if you trust God to do it."
Jesus looked at them and said, "With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible."
Matthew 19:26
I take God at this word "all things." There are so many times in our lives that we look at why things cannot be done. When we do this we are only looking at and looking for the negative reasons why something will not happen. There are also many postive reason why something would happen, we just are not looking for those so we think those reasons are not there. I saw a client many many years ago that kept telling me how they could not find another job. Over and over they would walk in and give me all the negative reasons for impossibility of finding a better job. I would go through each of these reasons and debunk them, but they still continued to look at the negative. Finally one day, at the advice of a supervisor, I said to them - "Yep you are right you are just stuck in the low paying job, I do not think anyone can help you." Within two week they had found another job! Once this person started placing their own attention on the possibilities it was easy!
To be connected to God, truly connected, is to look for all the possible things. To be connected is to walk around your life today and find all the reasons why things are going to work out. It is to look for God under every situation, every "rock" and around every corner. It is to know that God is right there in every moment working things out to get you to fulfill that dream you have. It is possible. So today as you read this you may be thinking, "well that may work for you but I have never been able to do that." I would say to you that you are right you are just stuck and it is impossible.
Namaste'
