The Holy Spirit can make your impossibilities possible
Wouldn’t it be amazing if people would walk up to us and say I see Jesus in you? I believe that is how Jesus wants us to live our lives.
The woman whom Jesus met at Jacob’s well was so impressed with him that she could not compose herself. She ran around telling everybody she met the following:
John 4:29 New International Version (NIV)

29 “Come, see a man who told me everything I ever did. Could this be the Messiah?”
It may seem impossible for a human being who was born in sin and shaped in iniquity to be like Christ. But it is not beyond our reach. Jesus expects us to do what he did and even greater.
John 14:12 New Living Translation (NLT)

12 “I tell you the truth, anyone who believes in me will do the same works I have done, and even greater works, …
Jesus wants us to continue the work he started. But we cannot do it on our own. We need the Holy Spirit to help and guide us.
Therefore, if we gave the Holy Spirit a suitable place to dwell, he will make our impossibilities possible.
Let’s not forget what God has done for us
Sometimes we get carried away with the accolades and titles which the world bestowed upon us that we forget to tell God thanks for all he has done. He has pulled many of us out of mire clay, others from sinking sands. Let’s show Him our love and gratitude by surrendering our hearts and lives to follow Him.
King of my life, I crown Thee now,
James E. Hussey, 1921
Thine shall the glory be;
Lest I forget Thy thorn-crowned brow,
Lead me to Calvary. Refrain:
Lest I forget Gethsemane,
Lest I forget Thine agony;
Lest I forget Thy love for me,
Lead me to Calvary.
Show me the tomb where Thou wast laid,
Tenderly mourned and wept;
Angels in robes of light arrayed
Guarded Thee whilst Thou slept.
Let me like Mary, through the gloom,
Come with a gift to Thee;
Show to me now the empty tomb,
Lead me to Calvary.
May I be willing, Lord, to bear
Daily my cross for Thee;
Even Thy cup of grief to share,
Thou hast borne all for me
Don’t allow your affliction to touch your heart.
Psalm 41:3 New International Version (NIV)

3 The Lord sustains them on their sickbed
and restores them from their bed of illness.
If you are a Christian, who is carrying a heavy load that God hasn’t seen fit to lighten or remove, don’t give in to bitterness, rebellion, or self-pity.
When your emotions well up, as they inevitably will, think about apostle Paul. He had an affliction that God never saw fit to remove. Be honest with God, he understands. As long as you keep your life open to him, your affliction will never touch your heart.
Sing praise to God
When your heart is in tune with God you are more likely to sing His praise.
Psalm 47:6-8 New King James Version (NKJV)
Bible Gateway
6 Sing praises to God, sing praises!
Sing praises to our King, sing praises!
7 For God is the King of all the earth;
Sing praises with understanding.
8 God reigns over the nations;
God sits on His holy throne.
