For with God nothing will be impossible (Luke 1:37).
The man had seen me a few times and kept asking for help. I did a short evaluation and wasn’t compelled to contribute, but then asked if he had children. He showed me a number of prescriptions and I said ok. I’ll go to the hospital tomorrow. In the conversation, I didn’t hear anything about a baby.
I saw him outside the hospital and still more things lost in translation. So, the day came to go visit his house.
When we went up to their house, we found a family with three children, including a two-month-old baby. I cried realizing that they had little to no provision for their family. What struck me the most was when we went to go get the things that were needed. They had given us three prescriptions that the mother and baby needed. Paying for the items, I came to realize that for this family, it would have been impossible for them to get the things they needed.
While we returned to the family’s house, ringing in my heart was this great sense of “impossibility.” How could a family like this with little provision pay for the things they needed, especially for the baby just two months into our world.
That night as I lay in bed, I began to weep as the impossibility for this family to nurture the baby, with what the doctors said it needed. As I lay there God spoke to me not just for them but for me as well. He said, “With Me all things are possible.”
I considered how God has all things in His hands and all the provision He provides for us to be able to help with these types of needs. Further though, He showed me in His economy and character that with Him nothing is impossible and ALL things are possible.
I hope that those who read this will see that all things are possible with God (Luke 1:37).
