It is the age of “someone else will do it”. It is the age where we don’t think we can. It’s not that we don’t want to do anything, though, of course, that is always the case with some, it’s that we feel someone else would do it better, and maybe they would. But the thing is… they don’t. So nothing happens, and nothing changes, and the world is just how it was before, and it’s destined to remain that way until someone does what they can.Put your trust in Him. He is the greatest Teacher, and is well able to equip you far greater than you ever dreamed for the work that’s right in front of you.
It may be a great work, and seem to big to tackle, but do what you can. It might be hard and tedious, but do what you can. You may not have what it takes to finish it now, but do what you can. You may not have the means to go far, but go with what you’ve got. You might not be able to do much, but do what you can. It might cost you everything, but do it anyway.
He doesn’t show us our duty, and leave us to struggle unaided. Far from it, He is with us every step of the way. He guides us, directs us, and gives us wisdom greater than we can realize now, but He expects us to go forward, and do all that you can.
Do what you can, with what you have, where you are. ~Theodore Roosevelt

Lovely, and very wise. I love the picture too… beautiful.
Always inspired by your writing, Chantel. Encouraging post. Thank you. Needed that.
Thanks for posting this, I really needed this. God has put me in a few positions that I just feel totally useless in, but with God in me and through His strength He will help me and let His glory shine through.
Wow. That was excellent! Thank you so much for that reminder.
Beautiful, Chantel. This is a wonderful reminder for me.
So, so full of truth. Thank you! And the photo is the perfect accompaniment.
Very good, I needed that right now! Thanks for letting God use you.
