Move Your Mountains

  Matthew 17:20

"Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you." 

Do you believe that? I must admit it is hard to believe. The non religious way to say this is, you can do anything you set your mind to. If you want it, you will make it happen. 

The truth is, the life you have now is the life you want the most, or else you would change it. You are in control of your own life and your future. You can be anyone you want to be. You can do anything you want to do. 

Did Jesus really mean we can relocate mountains? It was meant to be an analogy. Things you see as impossible can become possible. You just have to want it and believe it's possible. All things are possible to those who believe. 

If you want it badly enough, you can make it happen. The things you don't have, you don't actually want or else you would have them. You really have everything that you currently want. You may think you want more, but you don't really, or you would cause yourself to have it. 

You can only get angry with yourself over anything you don't have. It is not God's fault or anyone's fault. You have to see that you are in complete control over what you have and do not have. 

I saw a book title years ago at Barnes and Noble that caught my attention. It said, "You're Broke Because You Want to Be." That is very true. You like living on the edge. You like being reckless. It is more fun for you. So you spend all that you make to get that high of being scared over barely having enough. You are actually broke because you want to be broke. It keeps you going to work. You could be more frugal,  but you aren't. You like having barely enough so you can get pity from others, but you do it to yourself. Maybe you want others to rescue you, so you make yourself drown. 

This can be true of any wrong in your life. You like the pity of others. 

Or you can stop wanting any pity and decide to be stronger. You can get your act together if you want to. You can have a perfect life. You just have to believe it is possible first.
