Have you ever thought how many things we call "difficult"? Have you ever thought about how easy we categorize something as "difficult"? Have you ever though how much it varies from person to person what is called "difficult"?
- We don't start to study because "it is difficult"...
- We don't give us a chance at love because "it is difficult"...
- We don't break unhealthy relationships because "it is difficult"...
- We don't change our habits because "it is difficult"...
- We don't read the Bible because "it's difficult"...
- We don't change jobs because "it's difficult"...
- We don't pray because "it's difficult"...
- We don't pursue our dreams because "it's difficult"...
- We don't trust God because "it's difficult"...
- We don't forgive because "it's difficult"...
- We don't give ourselves to God because "it's difficult"...
- We don't forget the past because "it's difficult"...
- We don't love because "it's difficult"...
Finally we do everything that is NOT fruitful, because what is really valuable "it's difficult"... not considering that in doing so, we reject God's power... subtract value to His Word... publicly confess our anti-faith in God... even if we call ourselves Christians. Our faith agonizes from a deadly wound gave by our ability to question everything.
A "teacher" of the Bible was one of those "it's difficult" moments with Jesus... I'll share it with you:
Nicodemus said to Him, "How can a man be born when he is old? He cannot enter a second time into his mother's womb and be born, can he?"
I understand Jesus' response as follows: "If you have my presence but still can't see possible the impossible, then you're not really leaving me to do what only I can do." If even with the Almighty, we continue seeing situations as impossible, then we limit the power of God in our lives... God will continue to be Almighty for others, but the lack of faith in our lives will never let us experience God's ALL POWER...
The next time you think that something "it's difficult", think about the God who can do everything, knows everything and is everywhere... entering the body of a baby... When you think "it's difficult", think about the limitless God, being "limited" by the tenderness and dependence of a baby... When you think "it's difficult", think about God entering young Mary's womb... When you think "it's difficult", think about the "no name" Carpenter who broke the story in "before" and "after" His birth.. When you think "it's difficult"... think of the eternal God dying for you. When you think "it's difficult", think of Jesus' empty tomb. When you think "it's difficult", think that the God of the universe can live in your heart today... When you think "it's difficult", think that God can see you today, seated in heavenly places in Christ Jesus...
unDifficult yourself and ignite your faith... Without faith it is impossible to live the impossible... It's difficult? Who said it was easy? Jesus just said IT'S POSSIBLE in HIM.
JUST SAYING!!!
God bless you,
