Possible Impossibilities VS Impossible Possibilities

We have always imagine about how wonderful we can be, what we will achieve, what we want in life and such. When we get down our feet and think of how to accomplish them, we were drawn aback by negative thoughts - thoughts that seems to limit us. Which ultimately limit our God.
I termed it as 'Possible Impossibilities'.

In this concept, I classified all thoughts and imaginations that came from 'Us' are only possible in our thoughts and imagination but impossible to accomplish in this real world when we come to think of it. Wonderful thoughts like - meeting your life partner, overcoming our weakness/temptations, be a leader who influence and changes life, have a wonderful family of your own and any other more beautiful dreams and hope u ever thought of.
This, in other words are the mindset of a limited being. No, it is not wrong being like this for we are of a fallen nature anyway. However, we can Choose to be better.

'Impossible Possibilities' concept refers to what God can perform in our life. Especially things we don't expect God will do. Or perhaps things we thought impossible. Whatever that is mentioned above seems impossible to us, but for the One who creates All things - Nothing is impossible and Nothing is too hard for Him. For it is already mentioned - All things are possible for the one who believe (mark 9:23).
Therefore, it shall be said: Impossible for us, Possible for Him.

To conclude, the 'gap' between Possible Impossibilities and Impossible Possibilities IS:
1.) The Faith to believe and expect.
2.) The willingness to do so.

So are you willing to believe and expects your wonderful thoughts that you thought impossible become otherwise?

I am.

Things are beginning to change now.

Faith Hope Love

click to comment

Faith is believing what cannot be seen or proven. Faith is committing to that of which we can never be sure of. A person who live in faith must proceed on incomplete evidence, trusting in advance what will only make sense in reverse.
“Mystery is not the absence of meaning, but the presence of more meaning that we can comprehend.” (Dennis Covington)


Hope gives us the power to look beyond circumstances than otherwise appear hopeless. Hope keeps hostages alive when they have no rational proof that anyone cares about their plight; it entices farmers to plant seeds in spring after three straight years of drought. “Hope that is seen is no hope at all,” Paul told the Romans. He mentions some of the good things that might come out of difficulties: “Suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope.” He lists hope at the end, instead of where I would normally expect it, at the beginning, as the fuel that keeps a person going. No, hope emerges from the struggle, a byproduct of faithfulness.


Love involves caring about people most of us would prefer not to. In Paul’s words, love is patient, does not envy, is not self-seeking, is not easily angered, keeps no record of wrongs; it always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Such a program may seem reasonable on another planet run by different rules, but not on our planet where people act with injustice, meanness, and vengeance. By nature we keep records, right wrongs and demand our rights; love does not.
