Power to ... go on, power to stand and continue

I came across this the other day and it is so interesting how it applies to my life at the moment. I felt very encouraged by it and that is why I am sharing it!

It is so interesting how we want to do so many things, to stand up for what we believe in, to follow our principles and live according to them.

This is from a series called "Unstoppable Life" by John Ortberg.

I think the great need of human beings is for power. I think most people that I know, regardless of background, even religious tradition, most people have really pretty good intentions for the kind of lives that they want to lead. We know the kind of people that we want to be. We think about the kind of relationships that we’d like to have. We want good things. We just seem to lack the power. We just somehow can’t do good stuff that we want to do and life kind of trips us up.

Life has this way of showing us—whatever field or dimension or area it is—we have these dreams, we have these thoughts, we have these plans and they are often quite good, but I find myself not living them out. I lack power to be who I want to be and do what I want to do. That seems to be the human condition.

There is power to go on, there is power for everything; you just need to find it! How? More to come!!
