The Impossible Things

The way is Jesus in His peace in us.

There are things which are impossible for us to handle because God does not want us to handle them :)

There are things which God does not want us to even be thinking about. And there are things which are a trick to get us away from God, and tangled and mangled in trying to deal with them >

"No one engaged in warfare entangles himself with the affairs of this life, that he may please him who enlisted him as a soldier." (2 Timothy 2:4)

But there are things God will take us through, and they will be impossible physically and emotionally and in how to decide the right thing to do. But we can simply obey how God rules us in His peace (Colossians 3:15, Proverbs 3:5-6) and do precisely whatever He has us doing . . . enjoying, even, sharing with Him > while Paul submitted to how God took him along in God's grace, Paul took "pleasure", he says, "in infirmities, in reproaches, in needs, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake. For when I am weak, then I am strong." (in 2 Corinthians 12:7-15)

No matter who or what we are dealing with, we can be taking pleasure in the LORD :)

And we can take pleasure in unconditionally loving any and all people.

Paul became unconditionally loving, in the grace of God's all-caring and unconditional love (2 Corinthians 12:15). So, grace is not only for gaining God's favor from a distance :)

It is possible to love more and more abundantly, and to be encouraged, during anything. This is an impossible thing which is possible with God :)

Look at how Jesus on the cross was busy with loving others. While He was going through all that, He was caring for others. This includes how, while Jesus was on the cross, He took care of family loving >

"When Jesus therefore saw His mother, and the disciple whom He loved standing by, He said to His mother, 'Woman, behold your son!' Then He said to the disciple, 'Behold your mother!' And from that hour that disciple took her to his own home." (John 19:26-27)

So, in the middle of such a hard thing, Jesus was not concerned only with trying to solve His own troubles. He was busy with being pleasing to our Father, and this is our example >

"And walk in love, as Christ also has loved us and given Himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling aroma." (Ephesians 5:2)

So, Jesus was even sweet-smelling, during Calvary > sweetly pleasing to our Father. And Jesus in us is our way to be pleasing to our Father, too.

So, thank You, God our Father for how You have so more and better than what is possible for us humanly :) So, we offer ourselves to You, for all Your grace is easily and breezily and beautifully able to do in us and our relating with You and with one another. :)
