“Start by doing what is necessary, then what is possible, and suddenly you are doing the impossible.” St. Francis of Assisi (1181-1226)

What is the most necessary place to start? Relationship with God. Any other starting point will end in failure. But once I have this as the foundation of who I am and what I can become and do, then everything is possible in Christ. For in Christ I can do all things, with Christ I can become the potential I, and for Christ fulfill all expectations. What would be impossible alone is not impossible with God in me. On my own I can’t save myself. But Christ in me is my salvation. On my own I can’t reach agape love, but Christ’s love in me perfects my love. Alone I can’t overcome the sinful tendencies within me. But in Christ I have the strength to be victorious. The impossible becomes possible because of Jesus in and with me.
