Do you believe I am able to do this?

As I was running along Sunken Garden in UP, I can't help but let my thoughts go back to a question my friend Beng posed to us during our recent small group discussion. Do I believe that God is able to answer my requests? How big is my faith? Is there an aspect in my life that I haven't fully trusted to our Lord?

During our discussion, I had to admit that yes, there are some things that I did not think of laying down at His feet. No, not because I lacked faith. It was more like... I accepted that it was my lot and that God can still do great things through me despite the limitations given to me. No, not because I doubted His power. It was because it completely slipped my mind that my God is bigger than anything  else I have known and will ever know. No, not because I did not believe in His miracles. It was only because I wanted more transformations in other aspects of my life, something I considered more important.

It was a gentle yet a booming reminder. There is nothing small or big that God cannot change it. I sometimes pray to Him to provide me a seat on the bus to go to work. I have to remember that I can also ask Him to give me a mountain.

This too, I believe, He is able to do.
