As a person who has suffered several illnesses, one quite debilitating, I know about natural limits. I know how it feels to be limited, to feel as if there is a top to your growth that you'll never be able to overcome. Well, God has taught me a lesson.
While my body is limited, my body does not constitute my full existence. I am a spirit housed here and so, while my house is limited, I myself am not. In the height of my physical pain, I was limited in movement, to a point I was required to use a walker. I was limited in my thinking also, because it seemed the pain drowned out every other thought. But in the middle of all that hopelessness, I was introduced to myself, to my spirit person.
In life, emotions tend to scream at you. Circumstances block you. Thoughts may cripple you. But when everything else breaks down, you are left with only you, and that is the place you discover the real you. Then, in that moment of discovery, you learn the boundlessness of living in that person, that spirit person who actually possesses direction, wisdom, strength and unconditional joy. You discover that all of the horrible happenings, all of the emotional meltdowns, all of the angry, sad or hopeless thoughts did nothing to devalue the person you are. Your value is only enhanced by the knowledge gained through your experiences, whatever they may have been. You see, when you live in that spirit person, you are connected to a different source and governed under new dominion, real dominion. That spirit person is the part made in the image of God, the part that is able to embrace the full and abundant life God created us to live and Christ died to restore to us. Time to embrace it.... be free and take spiritual flight. You are truly limitless!
