Of Impossibilities




It is impossible
To love
And hold a grudge
Simultaneously

***

It is impossible
To trust and fear
Simultaneously

***

It is impossible
To serve self
And God
Simultaneously

***

It is impossible
To be happy
Without thankfulness

***

It is impossible
To be unhappy
With thankfulness

***

It is impossible
To give our best
While harboring guilt

***

It is impossible
To glorify God
While seeking personal gain

***

It is impossible
To dislike
Sleeping children

It is impossible
To teach
Simply by speech

***

It is impossible
To have friends
Without being a friend

***

It is impossible
To rejoice with those who rejoice
While jealous

***

It is impossible
To live a godly life
And a selfish one

***

It is impossible
To enter Heaven
But by the grace of God

We cannot escape
the awesome wonder
of God in this world!
It is impossible.

    It's amazing how if we want goodness in our lives we just have to let go of the negativity. Lovely.
