As you take steps of faith, depending on Me, I will show you how much I can do for you. If you live your life too safely, you will never know the thrill of seeing Me work through you. When I gave you My Spirit, I empowered you to live beyond your natural ability and strength. That’s why it is so wrong to measure your energy level against the challenges ahead of you. The issue is not your strength but Mine, which is limitless. By walking close to Me, you can accomplish My purposes in My strength.
2 Corinthians 5:7 NKJV For we walk by faith, not by sight.
Galatians 5:25 Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit.

The Singing NetSurfers
I will sing to my Lord as long as I live, I will sing
praise to my God while I have my being.
Just as the child who overcomes their fear and leaps into their father’s arms in the pool, we must make the spiritual leap of faith each day. When we see God’s arms and know he will catch us, then we are seeing God as the child sees its physical Father.
But how can we see something that clearly when we can not see it at all? We must look with our hearts and our souls. And we must look with our faith, which is the true belief in things unseen. The best way to improve our spiritual sight is to practice it in everything. When we accept our weakness and instead acknowledge God’s strength, then we see through God’s eyes, and God becomes as real as our earthly Father. And we see clearly his outstretched arms and know they will always catch us.
In his arms,
Z gardener
