Impossible?


"I long to see you so that I may impart to you some spiritual gift to make you strong—that is, that you and I may be mutually encouraged by each other's faith."
Romans 1:11-12


There is something encouraging about looking to the example of someone who has been where you want to go or done what you want to do.

As children, we look to our older siblings or friends to let us know that we'll survive our freshman year. We look to couples who have children to help us feel a little more prepared for the difficulties of parenthood. And the same holds true in our spiritual walk.

During difficult times, there will be periods of doubt in your journey with God. But during those times, look to those who have gone before you and be encouraged by their stories of faith. No matter what you are facing, God can use the faith of others to encourage you - because impossible is nothing!
