The Impossible

Troubles keep you on your knees when dreaming for the impossible.
Psalms 31:7 "I will be glad and rejoice in thy mercy: for thou hast considered my trouble; thou hast known my soul in adversities..."

Troubles make you better and will keep you on your knees. Never shrink away from trouble nor fail to see the value of it. Your adversaries can provide you with more value than your friends. You can learn from your troubles and you can grow in your dependence on God. It’s critical that you embrace trouble as a growing part of life. Someone once said, “All the adversity I've had in my life, all my troubles and obstacles have strengthened me. You may not realize it when it happens, but a kick in the teeth may be the best thing in the world for you.”

Passion increases your faith to believe for the impossible.
Hebrews 11:6 “But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.”

Your passion must be that God can do what no man can do. Passion is what gives you the strength to overcome the obstacles associated with every dream. Passion is what keeps you going when everyone else is tired because passion is power.

To succeed at your dream, you have to have unshakable belief. Times will get tough. The road will become hazardous during your journey. So you must have faith and hope to keep on going. You need a faith in God, in yourself, and in the importance of your dream no matter how impossible it seems. Martin Luther King, Jr. said, "Faith is taking the first step even when you don't see the whole staircase." Passion is the key to realizing your faith into reality.
