Do you ever wonder if your faith is strong enough; faith in God, faith in yourself, faith in others, etc.? When one falters, do the others compensate? If your faith is weak or being tested, does that mean there will be less of God's blessing or more because that's when you need it most? "What He wants to do in your life is not going to be by your might or power. It's going to be by His Spirit," says the author of today's devotion. Good thing, because there are days when my might and power feel like there's been a service interruption.
I wrote a dedication this morning for my daughter's 8th grade yearbook. We were asked to include a baby picture and keep our thoughts to 100 words or less. I asked the question, "How do you pour so much love into 100 words or less?" Eventually, I found this quote.
"What I wanted most for my daughter was that she be able to soar confidently in her own sky, whatever that may be. -- Helen Claes
What I've come to realize, is that this is what I want for myself too. There is nothing like the feeling at her age of the whole world laying at your feet and the possibility of everything and feeling totally invincible. At my age, I need to peel away the layers of self-doubt and boundaries and open myself back up to the possibilities that God has for me. It shall be done according to my faith.
Have a blessed Best Life day!
