Seeing the Impossible

Posted on

Repentance and conversion are essential to the Christian life. We've heard it from Sirach before and hear it again today.

In today’s Gospel reading from Mark 10, we read the story of the encounter with the rich young man. After the man goes away sad, Jesus follows up with His famous saying about a camel going through the eye of a needle. The disciples ask, “Who then can be saved?” Jesus replies, “For men it is impossible, but  not for God. All things are possible for God.”

Have you ever had an impossible situation turn around? I think we all have. Did you recognize that it was God that brought that about? God is a God of miracles, and I believe the impossible happens every day. Take a look around today. I think you’ll see so many things that make you wonder, how is that possible? For you it ain’t. But for God…well, Jesus said it nicely.

Father, teach us to trust in you in all things, even what we may see as impossible. Show us your grace, and lead us to the greatest possibility of all – heaven. Amen.
