"Is any thing too hard for the Lord? At the time appointed I will return unto thee, according to the time of life, and Sarah shall have a son."
Genesis 18:14
This verse is from the story of Abraham and Sarah, when God blessed them with their son Isaac. Sarah, by any mortal measure, was too old to have children, but God promised her one anyway. And 3 chapters later, it happens. :)
One of the things about this earth life that I think infects us too much is the idea of endings and limitations. It's good on one hand to know when to say no, and to not overwhelm ourselves or neglect our loved ones because of all of the extra things that we take on. That said, though, the main idea in this verse, and so many other places in the scriptures is that God is able to do anything, and that through him, we have the power to do anything he asks.
Today, let's work on believing God when he says something. We can become better, we can repent, we can be saved... through him. Miracles will happen as we trust in the Lord and do as he asks. Things might not always happen exactly the way that we wanted them to, but they will happen the way the Lord wants them to, and because he is in charge, all of it leads to a happy ending. We just have to keep working at it and never give up, on God or on ourselves.
