Miracles

 Jesus looked at them and said, "With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible. Matthew 19:26

Jesus had been talking about the rich young ruler who had come to Him and wanted to know what more he must do to receive eternal life. Ultimately the more was to give away all his possessions and follow Christ.

According to my study bible Jesus was showing the young man that 1) His covetousness defied the spirit of the 10th commandment and 2) his neglect of the poor defied the commandment to love his neighbour, and possible 3) his love for his possessions surpassed his love for God, thus breaking the commandment against idolatry.

However, as Jesus stated above, 'with man this is impossible but with God all things are possible'. The spirit gives life and power, He enables all hardened hearts to melt.

Have you ever heard it said, 'that person will never come to the Lord they are so hard, it would take a miracle'. Our God is in the business of miracles.

I have people in my life who are defiantly opposed to the Lord, one even said she does not believe in Him. My prayer for her is that she finds the lover of her soul, I know that will melt her.

We must remember that our God has a plan!
