The impossible becomes possible

  How many times have we found ourselves in a situation where we really needed something that seemed impossible? Well, I have seen myself in those kind of situations many times.

But we need to realize that actually the word impossible does not exist in the believers' dictionary. Actually, the scriptures are full of examples which tell us about "impossible" events that came to happen. Let's take a look at some of them:

Jesus walks on waters: Mathew 14:22-31

That account is very important for me because it shows us how we can make the impossible possible. The apostles recognized Jesus walking on the water. They were really scared and feared. That's what happens to us when we find ourselves in a situation we never pictured before. We tremble and become afraid of the consequences. We start to imagine the unthinkable. That's what happend to the apostles. They thought it was a ghost. Then, when they were about to fall into more despair, Jesus shouted at them saying: 

"Be of good cheer ; it is I; be not afraid." 

That's the answer of God to us when we find ourselves in an extreme tight situation. He tells us not to be afraid. We have no reason to be afraid, because He is there for us. Peter knew Jesus had the power to do everything POSSIBLE, so he did not hesitate to ask Jesus:

"Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water."

Then, with no fear in mind, Peter did what was asked of him: He steped on the water. How many of us know what to do but are just too afraid to take that first step out on the water? Well, when we exercise our faith, we just take that step. We move on. We do not think about what may or may not occur. We trust the promise, we follow the Savior's promise and we just go for it.

But something happened to Peter while he was on that water:

"But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was ^aafraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me."

He feared! He might have thought: "Hey, what am I doing? I am walking on water... That's just not POSSIBLE". So He started to sink. Then he cried and asked Jesus to save him. Why did Peter fail to keep walking? Because he did not accept he could be doing something that - in a fisherman's perspective - was just not POSSIBLE. He did not think about the Savior's power to make him accomplish the impossible. He simply feared and failed.

That is something we must be careful about. Let's not be taken by fear! Fear is the opposite of faith. When there's fear, faith can not prevail and we don't trust the Lord. We forget about how mighty He is and how He can do the impossible. 

The impossible is a matter of perspective too! Actually, there is no thing such as the "impossible". The scriptures don't lie. If they tell us "I can do all things through Christ which strengthened me", why do we doubt?

It does not matter if it is in this life or in the life to come. We CAN achieve EVERYTHING we aske the Lord. Let's not doubt Him and His power. Let's have faith in His words. So that He does not have to ask us the same question he asked Peter: "O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?"
