People have asked me often how I am going to be able to overcome the obstacle of the language barrier. I have found even though I know very little Spanish I still can communicate with them through love. Whether it is through a smile, hug, or a handshake I'm still communicating with them. If we did not have our eyesight, are we just supposed to sit and go nowhere and say to our hands you are of no use? If we cannot hear, are we still not able to hold a crying child and comfort it?
The bible says that we are to walk by faith and not by sight. I may not be perfect but I am a willing vessel to walk up the mountains to go: give a sack of food to a grandmother; replace a mother's torn blouse; play with the small children; or lay hands on the father requesting prayer for pain. The key word is I am willing. Let us set our selfish ways aside and take upon the ways of the Lord.
The vision is big but if you look at it piece by piece all things are possible. What are you doing with the piece of the puzzle God has given you? Are you looking at your limitations or the possibilities?
