ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE

I wish I could say serving others comes easy to me. Once I’m caught up in the action it does. Finding the courage to act however often feels impossible. I think about serving ALL the time. I see a human being; raw, hurt and think “I should do something” but fear stops me. We are told that faith and fear cannot exist at the same time. You either have one or the other. I want to have faith, every minute of every day. Yet, I am human. I have fear and for a long time I have let that fear stop me from helping.

There was once a time when my life was filled with so much love and faith that there simply was no room for fear. I was filled with hope. Then one day that love was ripped from me. I became vulnerable. I became angry with God. I felt as though a piece of me had been torn. Slowly, fear began to creep back into me. But then, something beautiful happened. I cried out to God. I let him in and showed him my pain. He took my pain and placed it on His shoulders.

Luke 18:27 reads, “And he said, the things which are impossible with men are possible with God”. I have once more opened my heart to serving and I hope that I never ever close it again! I want to serve those around me every day. Whether it is big or small, I want to show others that God cares about them. There is so much poverty where I live. I don’t have to climb mountains or cross-rivers to find it. It is right in front of me, down the street. I drive past poverty every morning. Today I am choosing to acknowledge it and do my part. Will you?
