God writes life into what seems impossible
God writes life into what seems impossible
Gabriel’s message to Mary centered on an astonishing truth: with God, the impossible becomes possible. This isn’t shallow optimism; it’s confidence in the character of God who creates, renews, and brings life where there was none. When situations appear hopeless, God’s track record invites hope.
Anchor your hope in who God is, not in immediate outcomes. Expect God to work beyond your ability to plan or control. That expectation changes how you pray and how you live: it frees you to step into acts of courage and love because you trust that God can do what you cannot.
Jeremiah 32:17 (KJV): “Ah Lord God! behold, thou hast made the heaven and the earth by thy great power and stretched out arm, and there is nothing too hard for thee:”
Reflection: Think of a relationship, decision, or situation you consider impossible to change. What is one small next step you can take this week that trusts God’s power rather than your own strength?
