You look at the path ahead, the journey that God has called you to, and you can barely comprehend the enormity of what you are facing. The obstacles are immense. The challenges, unimaginable. The destination, thoroughly unobtainable. You think, No way, God! I can’t do this. This path you have called me to? It is insane. It is impossible!
This is not the path you wanted. Well, not exactly. You love God, of course. With all your heart you love God, and throughout the years that you have walked with Him, you have been blessed in so many ways. Back in the day, you even had the great privilege of witnessing the amazing miracles that only He could do. Oh, the stories you could tell of His faithfulness and power and goodness!
But this? This isn’t exactly what you signed up for. You thought by now, now that you are this far down the path, that the journey would be getting easier, not harder! And certainly not impossible! You start to doubt, thinking, maybe you misunderstood what He is asking you to do. Perhaps you took a wrong turn somewhere along the journey, and if you could just find your way back to the right path, the one He must have intended for you to take, then everything will work out. Then you can breathe easy again.
But no. There is no other path. There is no way around it. This is the place He has led you to. This is the journey forward He is asking you to take. This is the impossible He is calling you to.
