Biblical Answer

The Reality of Our Limitations

The reality of our limitations is a fundamental aspect of the human experience. As we go about our daily lives, we are constantly faced with the reality of our own mortality, our limitations, and the constraints that shape our expectations and fears. This reality can be overwhelming, leading us to adopt certain ways of seeing things and falling into ruts that make it difficult to adopt a fresh perspective. However, this is where the power of faith and the Christian perspective can come in to help us navigate this reality. By looking unto Jesus and setting our hearts on what He wants, we can begin to see the world in a new light and develop a sense of purpose and direction that goes beyond our natural limitations.

The Call to Spiritual Growth

The call to spiritual growth is not about adopting a new perspective or launching out from scratch, but rather about engaging in the struggle to become more like Christ. This involves standing back from our natural hissings and frettings, and coming in out of the wind to seek the guidance of God's Spirit. As we do this, we begin to see that our choices, including our habits and behaviors, have a profound impact on who we become. By choosing to let God take us over and guide us, we can begin to see the world in a new light and develop a sense of purpose and direction that is not limited by our natural limitations. This is not about trying to become someone we are not, but rather about becoming the person God has created us to be.

The Reality of Our Freedom

The reality of our freedom is a fundamental aspect of the human experience, and one that is closely tied to our limitations. While we may feel limited by our circumstances and constraints, we are also free to choose how we respond to these limitations. By choosing to look unto Jesus and set our hearts on what He wants, we can begin to see the world in a new light and develop a sense of purpose and direction that goes beyond our natural limitations. This is not about trying to escape our limitations, but rather about learning to live with them in a way that is guided by God's Spirit. As we do this, we begin to see that our choices have a profound impact on who we become, and that we have the freedom to choose how we respond to the reality of our limitations. By choosing to follow God's guidance, we can begin to see the world in a new light and develop a sense of purpose and direction that is not limited by our natural limitations.
