So you know the phrase "the sky is the limit"? Look at the atmosphere (or, sky) in this picture, and how small it is compared to the earth....
...And look how small the earth is compared to a small part of space...
So the phrase "the sky is the limit" is actually really limiting, even though it's supposed to be uplifting! Plus, physically, the sky is no longer the limit. Men have walked on the moon. There are rovers on Mars. The space station is populated with astronauts. Satellites orbit the earth.
But that's literally speaking. What about figuratively? Is there really a limit to our potential? I argue that no, there is not. An often-quoted phrase is "With God, all things are possible". I have been blessed enough to see this in the short 23 years of my life. Over the last 3 years especially, I have seen the Lord work many miracles. I have seen the "impossible" happen. I have seen myself learn a second language in 2 months. I have seen a good friend of mine heal miraculously from a terrible accident. I have seen people's hearts soften. I've seen people do things they've never done before, nor ever imagined they would do. I've seen people change their entire lives, for the better. I've seen so much; there is no way for me to ever deny that the impossible is actually possible....the Lord does everything we can't.
So the sky is not the limit. There is much more beyond the sky! There are stars, there are moons and planets, other galaxies and worlds. The limit is infinite...in other words, there IS no limit!!!!! Challenge yourself. Trust in the Lord. Do something you think you can't!!!
