I came across a very encouraging read that I want to share with you.  (Sorry I do not know the source)

If you know anything about modern helicopters, you’ll recognize the name Igor Sikorsky. Growing up in Russia at the turn of the 20th century, he was told by his parents that man would never fly—it was impossible. But after the Wright Brothers disproved that theory, Sikorsky dreamed of an aircraft that could take off and land vertically. He built his first helicopter in 1909 at the age of 20. He eventually moved to America and established a helicopter factory. Igor Sikorsky died in 1972, but today, Sikorsky helicopters are the fastest, finest helicopters flying in the world. They supply most of the helicopters for the U.S. Armed Forces including Marine One, which shuttles the President of the United States.

When Sikorsky opened his first plant in America he posted a sign in the factory that read:

“According to recognized aero-technical tests, it’s impossible for a bumblebee to fly because of the shape and weight of his body in relation to the total wing area. The bumblebee doesn’t know this, so he goes ahead and flies anyway. The word ‘impossible’ means nothing!” If I had the power to do it, I would have every person walk out of this room and never use the word “impossible” again. In fact a long time ago, I took my old paper dictionary and I cut the word “impossible” out of my dictionary! If you ask me what are the implications of doing that—I don’t know what the word “implication” means because it got cut out on the other side of the page from “impossible!”

Do you need a miracle today? There are five words that can change your life. They are: WITH GOD, NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE! Do you believe that? What impossible situation are you facing right now? Fill in this blank: “With God, (blank) is possible!” Are you thinking it’s impossible to get out of debt? Say, “With God, getting out of debt is possible!” Are you struggling with depression or despair and seeking peace of mind? Say, “With God, peace of mind IS possible!” I know some of you are looking for work right now and it seems impossible. Will you say, “With God, getting a job IS possible!” Go ahead and fill in your impossibility.

But if you want God to do the impossible in your life, you’ve got to be willing to surrender to His plan. When Gabriel announced to Mary that God wanted to use her to be the mother of the Savior, Mary had a choice. She could have said, “Find another girl.” But she made herself available to God. “‘I am the Lord’s servant.’ Mary answered. ‘May it be to me as you have said.’” (Luke 1:38) So, do you want a miracle? Do you want God to do the impossible? Remember this: When I merge my inability with my availability, God’s supernatural capability is released. Will you say, “Lord, may it be to me as you desire?” When you fully surrender your life to Him you can expect to see Him do the impossible in your life!

I hope this article was an encouragement to you.

 Be Blessed,
