You know what the last thing a kid thinks before he jumps
off the roof of his house with a bath towel draped over his shoulders? “I
really am a super-hero! I can fly!!” From that moment on, no matter what he
encounters in his life, he measures his limitations. He calculates the risk. He
looks for success and braces for failure.
I’ve learned the hard way that I have limitations. That’s
not a sign of weakness or failure but instead a reminder that I am gloriously
and imperfectly human. While I may roll my eyes and wish I could banish those
limitations, they play an important role: to remind us that I’m not God.
Know your limitations. Embrace them. Then use them to get to
your God-sized dream on.
God can and will accomplish all he wants to do in and
through you. Your limitations won’t prevent that. Remember that in your
weakness he is strong. Being used by God in his big, big plan can be as
exhilarating as roof diving with a bath towel cape!
