For Nothing is Impossible
Daily Reflection — August 12, 2017
We have always been taught that “Faith can move mountains, for nothing is impossible.” Personally, I’ve known this phrase way, way back then, and i’m always like, “Okay… faith can move mountains, but, really? Why can’t I?” That’s when I’m still doubtful and was close-minded enough to see and feel God’s amazing “faith-can-move-mountains” moments, or in other words, miracles.
I came to a point in my life that I was believing no one, even God when I thought I am believing him enough. All my prayers were empty prayers because I lack of something: and that is faith. I’m already a YFC back then, but all the things I hear were not absorbed and just remain as it is. I’m a YFC by name, but not by faith. I felt everything are merely because I needed to act like a YFC, but I felt that my faith was too shallow to even see that living another day was a miracle from God. In short, I’m not living out the things I hear, I ignore God’s calling for many times, and I leaned to my own understanding at all the things I thought I understand. I was too selfish.
That’s also the time that I thought God was ignoring me. I thought my prayers were not heard, and He simply don’t understand me and my concerns at all. My prayers became dry, and became hopeless. I give up even if it’s not yet starting, and I had a mindset of “everything will fall apart, eventually.”
But it came to a time that God made me realize that I was tired: tired of being hopeless, tired of thinking negatively ahead. I believe it was the Lord’s grace that I was enlightened of His mighty ways and wonders. As I look back, these realizations came to me on the moment that too many things were happening to me; bad and heartbreaking ones, that all that is left to do was to believe the Lord because if I don’t, worse things can happen.

Now, as I dig dipper into my faith, life was more brighter. I can really say now that, “nothing is impossible!” All doubts and uncertainties were simply turned into believing the Lord because it’s the only thing that will keep yourself together. My close mind was finally opened that I was able to see God’s “faith-can-move-mountains” moments, from the smallest to the extravagant ones. Everything was simply believing that it’ll unfold, at God’s perfect timing.
Now that I have a deeper faith, that I was able to understand because of the Catholic Church, I felt much closer to God. More than being heard by Him, I was also able to hear Him as well.
I’m still on the process of strengthening my faith more, but now I can really say that this faith is much stronger than before and it’ll never fade for the Lord will continuously show me reasons to believe, even if He doesn’t need to do anymore.
It is with faith that we can finally say, “nothing is impossible.”
