Through Him All Things are Possible(revised)

I believe that whatever God has in store for my life is so great that my imagination won’t allow me to envision it. All the time I talk to people and they constantly tell me that I will be real successful in life. I even have professors in whose class that I didn’t even well tell me this. Recently the director of the UNCW Gospel Choir, of which I am a member, told me that he saw big things in my future. I believe that I am destined to do something for the benefit of other people. I have always believed that you are suppose to help thy neighbor and that you will be rewarded for doing so.


I believe what the pastor says because he is a pastor and as a Christian I usually believe something when my pastor tells me. I believe that I will have a successful future also because I am motivated to do my best. I hope to one day have my own talk show like Oprah. Since I love to talk and I usually have a solution for everything, people always say that it would be perfect for me.

The other day when I walked in for my Gospel performance that was the first thing Pastor Robinson told was that I was going to be successful. I told him that people tell me this all the time but I couldn’t figure out exactly how I was going to do it. He told me to not worry because my steps had already been ordered by God. That conversation gave me even more reason to believe that God has a lot in store for me.

When you say to yourself….

“I can’t figure it out” God says in Philippians 3:5-6, “I will direct your steps.”
If you say to yourself, it’s impossible,” God says in Luke 18:27 “All things are
possible”. Even if you say “I am too tired,” God has said in Matthew 11:28-30,
“I will give you rest.”

Because God has told me all these things, I believe that whatever my destiny is, it is so big I can’t even begin to imagine the things God has laid out for me in the future. I believe that God wants this destiny for me because some people are destined to help others in major ways, while there are those that are suppose to receive the help. I believe that I am one of the few people who are destined to help the less fortunate.

I would love for everyone around me to have the same beliefs, but in today’s world that would be hard for everyone to do. Partly because everyone who is Christian and believes in God has their own interpretation of God’s word the Bible. With everyone believing something different than their neighbor it is hard to get people on one accord for anything these days.

People can’t even come together and express their opinion about something with a disagreement, much less agreeing on what God has said. I hope everyone who reads this essay today will become inspired to believe the same thing that I believe in. If everyone starts believing they will see how good God really is and believe that all things are possible through him
