“I can’t be it if I can’t see it.”  These words came from a teenage girl.  She disagreed with her parents’ lifestyles, and was afraid that she might not be able to rise above the parental examples in her life.  She knew who she did not want to become.  She did not know how to become something more.

Your eyes can only see so far.  But you do not have to be limited by your vision.  You do not have to be limited by your imagination.  You do not have to be limited.

There is a God who sees you.  He sees all.  He created everything in the heavens and on the earth.  He has no limitations and He loves you.  He can lead you and all of your gifts to places beyond the limits of what you know.

Following Him requires courage.  It requires faith.  It requires surrender.  It requires letting go of every limitation that has made you feel safe and comfortable.  It is worth it.

“I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.

Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.”  Ephesians 3:16-21
