I don't know how many of you know Audrey Hepburn. She's been in several movies including My Fair Lady. But even more than I love her amazing vocal skills, I love this quote by her:
“Nothing is impossible, the word itself says 'I'm possible'!”
-Audrey Hepburn
Wow, huh?!
Impossible is a word I believe was made by faithless men. Men would say it is impossible for man to walk upon the furious waves of the sea. In Matthew Chapter 14, though, it proves that anything is possible with faith.
22 ¶And straightway Jesus constrained his disciples to get into a ship, and to go before him unto the other side, while he sent the multitudes away.
23 And when he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into a mountain apart to apray: and when the evening was come, he was there alone.
26 And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a spirit; and they cried out for fear.
29 And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus.
30 But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was aafraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me.
31 And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little afaith, wherefore didst thou bdoubt?
Not so impossible. But, if you look close, you can see that the moment let the thought of "impossible" come to his mind, he let go of faith and nearly drowned in the sea. He may have been thinking that it was impossible for him to walk across the raging waves, to go through the storm. But I promise you, nothing is impossible with God.
Blind men received sight. Men's books of health and logic would say it is impossible. But through Christ, men were given eyes to see. People were raised from the dead. Hearts were changed. Lives were blessed. And, Christ went through what the world would consider impossible. He bled from every pore, He hung on the cross for us, and He was risen. Everyday, impossibilities are being changed to possibilities. Gravity is being defied.
