WE ARE NEVER HELPLESS WHEN WE HAVE GOD IN OUR LIVES

WE ARE NEVER HELPLESS WHEN WE HAVE GOD IN OUR LIVES One thing That I have come to learn And realize in this life Is that We are NEVER HELPLESS When we have God LIVING in our hearts For even when we come To the end of our own power When we can do nothing On our own God can STILL DO Amazing things in our life In fact That is WHEN God CREATES his greatest miracles In Luke 9 Jesus tells us The most amazing thing “Jesus-KNOWING their thoughts Took a little child And had him stand before him Then he said to them, 'WHOEVER welcomes this little child In my name Welcomes me; And whoever welcomes me Welcomes the one who sent me For it is the one Who is least among you all Who is the GREATEST'” Luke 9:47-48 What is it That makes a child “The least among all of you?” CHILDREN are a lot of Great things They are funny-they are smart- And they are joyful In many ways They are the BEST of us They are innocent And often without expectation But children-especially young children Can be HELPLESS and dependent They are often vulnerable To harm from adults But that is WHEN God can create the greatest miracles In us WHEN we come To the end of our own power And we are dependent on God's “Power BELONGS to you God” Psalm 62:11 “You God-are awesome In your sanctuary The God of Israel Gives POWER and strength To his people” Psalm 68:35 We are NEVER helpless When we have God in our lives THE POWER of God Can OVERCOME ALL ALL of Jesus' miracles Were dependent on GOD'S POWER As can be seen As the POWER OF GOD In the death of his own Son The power of God The power of Jesus The power of LOVE CAN AND DOES overcome all It's HUMBLING to recognize How HELPLESS we can be Even in certain situations As adults Particularly in death and illness In finances and in relationship After relationship “ARISE-Lord-lift up your hand- O God Do not forget the helpless” Psalm 10:12 For when we come To ACCEPT ourselves and others In our weakness Rather than strength We welcome Jesus And we can see God In his greatest power THE POWER to create a miracle In us And in our very lives Robert P.
