Love's unexpected solutions

It's impossible to limit the ways God can meet our needs.

I've done the best I can, but ..." we often say. Yet where does this leave us? As part of an endless line of unresolved problems? That's the generally accepted thought.

This line of spiritual thinking is a twentieth-century link in scientific knowledge that had its origin long before the Christian era. Those individuals in the Bible who sought and found practical answers to their needs were ordinary people like us, with one difference. They had learned how to draw upon and utilize God's power. It's possible for us to find and use this same unlimited power today.
