Overcoming life-limiting thoughts
'...I WILL STRENGTHEN YOU AND HELP YOU; I WILL UPHOLD YOU WITH MY
RIGHTEOUS RIGHT HAND."' ISAIAH 41:10 Labels tend to stick. When we're young and our parents say things like 'Oh, she's just a plain Jane,' or, 'He'll never be as smart as his brother,' we drag those life-limiting thoughts around like a ball and chain for the rest of our lives. Fortunately, God sees your potential differently. Listen: 'God can pour on the blessings in astonishing ways so that you're...more than...ready to do what needs to be done' (2 Corinthians 9:8 TM). Thirty years ago Johnny Weissmuller,known as Tarzan to movie-goers, was called the greatest swimmer in the world. Doctors and coaches said, 'Nobody will ever break Johnny's records.' He held more than 50 of them. Today 13-year-old girls break them on a regular basis! For decades experts declared nobody would break the 4-minute mile. But Roger Bannister refused to believe it. As a result, he broke the 'impossible' 4-minute mile. Today hundreds of runners do it every year. Understand this: others can stop you temporarily, but you are the only one that can do it permanently. If God says you can - you can! And His opinion is the only one that counts. Edgar Guest wrote, 'There are thousands to tell you it cannot be done, there are thousands to prophesy failure; there are thousands to point out, one by one, the dangers that wait to assail you. So buckle right in with a bit of a grin, take off your coat and go to it; just start to sing as you tackle the thing that 'cannot be done,' and you'll do it.' |
