Impossible?

We just got done as a class reading Luke. When I read Luke 1:37, "For with GOD nothing will be impossible", my heart ached. I know soooo many who are in a place right now where they are doubting those words. They want to believe them, but they can't through all the pain, disappointment, questions, hurts.

Today I just learned of another marriage that may be ending. My heart is breaking. And yet personally, I ask why is there so much pain in so many people's lives at this present moment. Sure I know the answer, there is an enemy out there who wants to steal, kill, and destroy.

Yet, isn't CHRISTMAS about the world receiving the BEST GIFT ever. That GIFT was GOD's LOVE in the form of a Baby who came to be our SAVIOR. My prayer this CHRISTMAS is that we can GIVE that LOVE to each other.

GOD speaks so often to us, yet we don't listen. Whether it is being afraid or whatever it may be......... that whatever is usually something that has to do with US, not the other person. Let's stop looking at ourselves this CHRISTMAS and start looking at each other. May we start listening to the voice of GOD that we hear so often, in so many ways, yet usually find some way to ignore.

There are things in my own life at the moment that seem impossible to me. However, I know that once I get in the mountains alone with GOD.........well, I know HE will speak. I just HOPE and PRAY that I can listen through the disappointment, hurt, questions, and pain that I feel right now. And not just for myself, but for soooo many others.

CHRISTMAS is already a time of stress for many. We have so often forgotten the REAL meaning of CHRISTMAS. So many...... well, the Holidays can just be a hard time as it. And this year, I am mad because the enemy is truly trying to steal, kill, and destroy the JOY that so many long to feel this CHRISTMAS.

I just know that nothing is impossible for GOD, HE can some how change EVERYTHING in just one moment. Like making a phone call and having all your plans change. I was looking at attending another school and GOD directed me to something amazing. EVERYTHING can truly change in a moment, in one instance.

I pray that the PEACE of CHRIST may fill your heart with JOY as you meet the RISEN CHRIST in the form of a BABY this CHRISTMAS. May HE be a part of every moment and memory. "For with GOD nothing will be impossible."
