Matthew 19:26 (NIV)

Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is *impossible*, but with God all things are possible.”



Everyone has been told, at least once in your life, that you can't accomplish something. You are too fat, too skinny, too tall, too short, too ugly, too pretty, too dumb, too smart...too ANYTHING. Well, had we listened and believed our naysayers, we wouldn't be on this site working on ourselves. Unfortunately, when people say negative things all the time, they sink in and we start to believe, at some degree, that they are correct.

There's good news, news we don't take hear near enough to actually start to believe: with God ALL things are possible. In other words: YES YOU CAN if you have Him. Don't delay...start a personal relationship with Jesus Christ today. It's never too late.

    That's one of the key things I continue to tell myself on this weight loss/life change experience that I am on. I can do ALL things through Christ who give me strength...even on my tuff days He gives me strength. Thanks for all the scripture. It is such a blessing.

    Good Word!
  • Praise the Lord! You are so right! Thank you for this...its a reminder of all the negative things I have heard people say to or about me...you can't sing, and quite honestly, not bragging, but I sing very well. Or, your not as pretty asyou use to be...wow! Hurtful...but my husband of 28 years make me feel beautiful inside and out, he loves me unconditionally, big or small...

    ...he is a true man of God as you are, and is supportive in every area of my life, spiritually, emotionally, mentally and physcially...but more importantly, I know someone that loves me more than he ever could...Jesus! Praise the Lord for allowing his son to die for our sins!
