The Seeds of Possibility

Jesus replied, “I tell you the truth, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.” — Matthew 17:20 NIV

It has been said that sixty-five thousand thoughts float through our minds each day. Every one of those thoughts has the seed of possibility in it. We choose with our will what we’ll do with that thought. Will we stay stuck in “If only . . .” or “Why me?”—or will we open our minds to “What if?” and “Why not?”

Asking the right questions keeps us open-minded and openhearted to what was and is and might be in the years to come. They send us on our way into all sorts of journeys in search of adventure.

Being a spiritual sojourner, now seems like a good time to pause and look back. I want to assess where I’ve come from and where I’m going—I want to ask myself what things I’d do the same, might do differently, or regret I never did at all.

Want to come with me? I invite you to make your own list as we go along. We’ll both see how the possibilities never end. We can do all things through Christ. His is the hand that launches us; his Spirit propels us. The voyage doesn’t get any better than that.
