WE HAVE LIMITATIONS

 

WE HAVE LIMITATIONS

As we get OLDER-

We find that=we are not always

ABLE to do

What we once could do

At least=as EASILY

And sometimes=the TASKS

Become too LARGE for us

As we get older

WE HAVE LIMITATIONS!

And sometimes=we have

To DELEGATE some jobs

To others

“Brothers=select from among you

SEVEN reputable men.......” Acts 6:3

Today we see=AN EXAMPLE

Of limitations=

In the early CHURCH

The apostles were CONSUMED

With spreading the GOOD NEWS

Of the Lord

And what an awesome JOB

That they did=but they

Were so consumed

With SPREADING the good news

That they could NOT MEET

The needs

Of the Hellinistic widows

They SOLVED the problem

By DELEGATING to

“Seven reputable men”

To take on their needs

We all have MANY LIMITATIONS

Even the apostles did=but they solved them

By DELEGATING=to meet

The needs of others

Sometimes we have to delegate=

Sometimes we have

To be CREATIVE=

Use the creative process

In MEETING the needs of others

“Let them

Praise the name=of the Lord

For at his command

They were CREATED” Psalm 148:5

“They exchanged the truth

About God=for a lie

And worshiped and served CREATED things

Rather than the CREATOR--------

Who is forever praised-AMEN” Romans 1:25

“For in him

All things were CREATED

Things in heaven

And on earth-

Visible and invisible

Whether thrones or powers

Or rulers=or authorities

All things have been CREATED

Through him=and for him” Colossians 1:16

Life is a process=AGING is a process

WE ALL HAVE LIMITATIONS!

For one reason or another

At the age of 35=

I was not able to

DRIVE anymore

Due to neurological complications

From my bowel disease

But I survived=

I took the bus=

And other people=have been kind enough

To drive me

And the apostles had LIMITATINS

But GOD'S WORD has survived

Despite these limitations

“Heaven and earth

Will pass away=

But my WORDS

Will never pass away” Matthew 14:35

We can THRIVE=despite our limitations

WE ALL HAVE LIMITATIONS!

In Jesus' name=and in the name=of our UNLIMITED HOLY FATHER!
