If you can

There's an old saying, and one my Mom used a lot, "Can't never could do anything." Actually, some of the folks in my family would say, "Can't never could do nothing," but, I was trying to be correct. But, can't is a word that we allow to define us and defeat us.

I don't know about you but there have been countless times in my life that I have allowed my "can't do" attitude to defeat my "can do" spirit. It doesn't take much to deflate us at times, especially when we are tired, not feeling well, bombarded on every side. However, if we only believed we could...

Today's word is Mark 9:23, KJV, which reads, "JESUS said unto him, 'If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.'"

Do you believe you can? As another old saying goes, "If you believe you can, or if you believe you can't, you are correct." It starts with believing. Now, I don't for one minute believe I can jump over the moon, and that is not what I am talking about. What JESUS is talking about in this verse, and what I am poorly trying to convey, is that you gotta put forth the effort and, then, believe, that your efforts are going to accomplish your goal (with GOD'S help and blessing, of course).

We will never accomplish anything worth while believing that we can't accomplish anything worth while. Do you believe you can? Is is physically possible? Have you put forth your effort and prepared for it? Is it GOD'S will and GOD'S plan for your life? Don't let "can't" define and defeat you. If you can believe, all things are possible.

Be Blessed,
