“As Jesus was setting out on a journey, a man ran up, knelt down before him, and asked him, "Good teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?" Jesus answered him, "Why do you call me good? No one is good but God alone. You know the commandments: You shall not kill; you shall not commit adultery; you shall not steal; you shall not bear false witness; you shall not defraud; honor your father and your mother." He replied and said to him, "Teacher, all of these I have observed from my youth." Jesus, looking at him, loved him and said to him, "You are lacking in one thing. Go, sell what you have, and give to the poor and you will have treasure in heaven; then come, follow me." At that statement, his face fell, and he went away sad, for he had many possessions. Jesus looked around and said to his disciples, "How hard it is for those who have wealth to enter the Kingdom of God!" The disciples were amazed at his words. So Jesus again said to them in reply, "Children, how hard it is to enter the Kingdom of God! It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle. than for one who is rich to enter the Kingdom of God.” They were exceedingly astonished and said among themselves, “Then who can be saved?” Jesus looked at them and said, “For men it is impossible, but not for God. All things are possible for God.” -Mark 10:17-27
 
The power of the Holy Spirit passed through me, bathing me in His love and mercy. Then, Scripture verses flooded my mind. The above verse was the first to come, spurring me to exclaim, ‘How easy it would be for You to pass a camel through the eye of a needle; with this unfathomable power, anything is possible.’
 
The second verse that entered my mind caused me to cry out, ‘With only the faith the size of the tiniest of seeds, we could indeed say to this mountain, move, and it would. When we place the smallest of faith in line with this unimaginable power, anything is possible.’
 
My friends, God's power reaches the far corners of the universe. It takes no time to travel, for it is already there, everywhere, always. In this power, all things are possible for God. Trust in Him, have faith, and believe.
