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
