The Impossible

A lot of times in life, we find ideas, situations, goals, etc to be impossible rather than possible. We view the glass half empty rather than half full. We give up after we've just started, with no motivation to go on. People tell us to keep trying, stay strong. The media relays countless accounts of others who show such strength. Artists sing about staying strong and getting back up after a tragedy. But in the midst of a tragedy in our OWN lives, it seems impossible to live up to those expectations. "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger" seems like a false hope. The tragedy SEEMS to be killing us; eating us alive inside. How do we gain the courage and strength to keep going on when all seems lost? We don't- Jesus does. We don't have the ability to carry on, that's why we must depend on our creator and His Word to bring us through. Luke 1:37, "For nothing is impossible with God." God is God. He can do anything. He can bring you through your trial. "Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand" (Isaiah 41:10). The blue rose stands for the unattainable, the impossible. The good news? The blue rose is artificial, not real. It is man-made. And that itself symbolizes that we are the ones who put the false idea in our heads that something is impossible when, in fact, nothing is impossible with God.
