A friend read this quote to me this week and I believe it speaks to how Jesus wants us to live, I hope it inspires you as it did me.
"Excellence is the result of caring more than others think is wise, risking more than others think is safe, dreaming more than others think is practical, and expecting more than others think is possible."
In the Gospel of John, Chapter 4, we see that Jesus met a Samaritan woman at a well. He asked her for something to drink. She was a little surprised because in those days the Jews did not have anything to do with the Samaritans. She said, "How can you ask me for something to drink?" Jesus said, "If you knew who I am, you would ask of Me, and I would give you Living Water. She immediately began to look at the natural circumstances. She said, "But, sir, you don't have anything to draw water with. You don't have any kind of bucket or pail. How can you give me living water?"
How many times do we as people do the same thing today? God tells us He is going to do something great in our lives, and we start looking at the natural circumstances and before long, we talk ourselves out of it! But we have to remember; God can take something that is ordinary, bless it and turn it into something that's extraordinary. With God, all things are possible! Let's look at the greatness of God,
stay focused on what He can do and embrace all He has for you!
