As a Possibility
When we encounter a problem in our lives we often approach it with complaint, fear, or worry. But many problems are, in fact, possibilities. The problem itself is evidence enough that life can be better and that, through struggle or prayer or a new approach, the tide may turn to reveal possibilities undreamed.
Once we begin to contemplate a problem (different than useless worry) we often create solutions for ourselves and others, and some problems, we find, are not really problems at all. Some problems evaporate as soon as we make a decision to step out in faith or in the confidence that we can make a difference.
"All things are possible with God," the scriptures tell us. Indeed. And this means that all problems are possibilities with God.
Many a great discovery or social change has been wrought in the crucible of pain, but through struggle and time, possibilities have emerged bright as diamonds. In fact, we may not have many problems at all. What we have are the potential and essential parts for a new day. We just have to assemble them.
