Help me to look at my limitations as your limitless opportunities, Lord.

Consider your own limitations not as obstacles but as opportunities for God to show his limitless power and unlimited love.

~~Carol Cymbala 

This morning’s prayer and meditation for Sally’s healing comes from Take Heart, Oh God: Riches from the Greatest Christian Women Writers of All Time.

We all have limitations. Maybe we just can’t cook to save our lives, or we have difficulty staying organized, or we can’t seem to make any set of numbers add up the same way twice. Face it, not one of us is good at everything.

Where we have limitations, someone else excels. Where we are gifted, someone else needs our help. And through it all God put the pieces together, showing his limitless power and unlimited love.

Consider your limitation as an opportunity. Can’t cook? Check in with your elderly neighbor and spend some time learning a few of her special recipes. Need to be better organized? Call upon that friend who in turn is feeling bad about herself for not being able to add—and let her shine as she organizes your life.

See how it works? God can use even your limitations for his glory.

Prayer for Meditation

Help me to look at my limitations as your limitless opportunities, Lord.

Scripture for Meditation

Now these are the gifts Christ gave to the church: the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, and the pastors and teachers. Their responsibility is to equip God’s people to do his work and build up the church, the body of Christ.  This will continue until we all come to such unity in our faith and knowledge of God’s Son that we will be mature in the Lord, measuring up to the full and complete standard of Christ. Ephesians 4:11-13
