The Christian life is a "supernatural" life. We serve a God of miracles & the impossible. In Mark 8:15 Jesus warns that we must beware of the leaven of unbelief. Remember without faith it is impossible to please God! As we study & believe God's word our faith grows to a point where we see what others can't!
In Jeremiah 18:1-10, we read the story about God speaking to Jeremiah by using the illustration of a potter and clay. There are important spiritual principles in this story. God is not willing to leave us "marred" or broken, He is the great restorer!
In Acts chapter 2 Peter says, "Repent, be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ and receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. Save yourselves from this untoward generation." Then in turn we need to share and live what we have learned with others.
In each of us is a desire to live a life that is bigger or beyond that which is natural. The world is constantly doing its best to define how this can best be achieved but the truth is that Jesus has already shown us! According to the example and teachings of Jesus, if we truly desire to be "great" - we must take on the form of a servant.
