Debtless Sample

The Impossible is Possible:

In Matthew 19, Jesus teaches His disciples that with men there are a lot of things that are impossible, yet with God, all things are possible! The question for you and me is do we really believe that? When we really believe that, our prayers grow, our faith rises, the way in which we see the world and approach the challenges we face each day completely changes. 

This is my final tip for you: think about your life goals and dreams. What looks humanly impossible? God specializes in the impossible. The whole concept of Debtless began as a dream for me. I wanted to graduate college without any student loans. With God's help, that happened, and it even became a book as well. Now, I never want to stop dreaming. 

My friend Ryan Leak asked me this question: "What would you try if you knew you could not fail?” The words written in this devotional are a result of trying something I wasn't sure was even possible. With God all things are possible. Dead things are raised to life with God. Broken things are healed and made whole with God. He has greater things in store for those who love him, things we haven't even imagined!

If you’re like me and you have dreams, they are not in your heart to tease you. God is the dream-giver. He places dreams in the hearts of young people so that they can happen. They could and should. You can reach your dreams—they are possible! So chase them with a reckless abandon and don’t allow debt to hold you back as it is a hindrance for so many people. 

Have a conversation with your parents or a mentor about your dreams. They can be your biggest cheerleaders, supporters, and encouragers. If college is a dream of yours, start thinking and planning towards that today! The time to start is now. The time to pray is now. God is able to do immeasurably more than we can even fathom! May faith rise in your life. May the goodness of God run after you all of your days. All my best to you, friend! 

Prayer:  Jesus, I will trust you! Whether it goes my way or not, I declare my dependence on you. I celebrate your goodness today in my life. Praise you, Father, for you make all things possible. There is no impossibility with you! Increase my faith, Lord, to see things the way you see them! Give me creativity-- passion-- vision-- wisdom-- dreams like never before! I am yours, Lord!
