Nothing is Impossible
"For nothing will be impossible with God." — Luke 1:37, ESV
Yeshua tells us to ask, and it will be given to us. He says we have not because we ask not. God wants us to come to Him with our needs and desires. He tells us He is our Shepherd who cares for His sheep. He is our Father, and He desires for His children to ask Him for what they need. I’m excited to share a simple example of how deeply God cares for and loves His children.
I really enjoy a good-smelling perfume—there’s something special about having your own signature scent. Maybe that’s why there are so many perfumes and colognes to choose from. For years, I wore one specific scent that I absolutely loved. I wore it consistently and never changed. But as I matured, that fragrance no longer seemed to suit me.
So, I started searching for a new perfume. When I was younger, I couldn’t afford designer fragrances, but now that I could, I began buying different high-end brands in hopes of finding the perfect scent. Nothing seemed to work. I remember walking into a department store with two of my nieces, and we spent time smelling all kinds of perfumes. Eventually, I became overwhelmed and gave up.
I had already prayed and asked God to help me find a new signature scent. So I simply said, “God, You’ll show me the perfume that’s meant for me.” One day, while shopping with my husband—without even thinking about perfume—we came across a group of ladies promoting a fragrance line. They had several scents from one brand I had never heard of and couldn’t even pronounce. One of the ladies invited me to try them. I almost said no, but I felt a nudge from the Holy Spirit. I picked up one bottle, sprayed it on myself, and was ecstatic.
God had answered my prayer.
I hadn’t been looking for perfume that day, but I had already asked and left it in God’s hands. He cares about every little detail of our lives. All we need to do is ask and surrender it to Him.
Remember Gideon? While he was complaining about his circumstances and asking where the wondrous works of God had gone, an angel of the Lord appeared. God shows up when we least expect it. When we ask, He hears—and He answers.
Now, every time I put on that perfume, I feel joy and praise rise up in my spirit, because I’m reminded that nothing is too small to bring before God.
There is such peace and assurance in knowing that the All-Existing One—the Creator of all things—cares enough to help me find a simple perfume. How much more does He care about the bigger things we face in life? All things are possible with God. (Matthew 19:26)
Key Takeaways:
God cares about the things you think are insignificant.
God wants you to ask; He isn’t expecting you to do everything on your own.
God knows exactly how to get to you what you’re hoping for.
