“Is anything too difficult for the Lord?”
Genesis 18:14
“For nothing will be impossible with God!”
Luke 1:37
Go back with me to Sarah’s tent as the angel of the Lord told her that at the tender young age of 90 that she would finally bear the child she had craved her entire life. What was that blessed question to the dazed octogenarian? “Is anything too hard for the Lord?” (Genesis 18:14) I know Sarah laughed in disbelief, but I can’t help but think that the angel had to at least snicker when he saw the dazed expression on her face!
Now jump ahead to the central event of mankind—the birth of Christ. Look with me as a scared young girl stares an angel in the face as he tells her she is carrying the Lamb of God in her virgin womb. What was his message to this confused young girl? “For nothing is impossible with God!” (Matthew1:37) See any similarities? Both of these statements were uttered to reassure the mothers of children who otherwise could not have been born! It took a miracle to breathe life into the womb of a 90 year old woman and even more miracle working power to bring the Son of God into the human body of a virgin teen! I absolutely love these Scriptures that bold scream out through time and eternity that nothing is too difficult for God! Even more, both statements were uttered in response to the conception of children!
Let me tattoo this on your heart right now—Nothing is too hard for God! Nothing! Hallelujah! Endometriosis? It’s nothing to the Great Physician! Unexplained infertility? Not to an all knowing God! Miscarriages? Stillbirths? God understands—remember He knows the sting of losing a Child. His child died too. Adoption? He is the original adoptive parent!
Nothing, nothing, absolutely nothing is too difficult for God and He’s fighting this battle right along with you! Disease? He can heal. Financially strapped? He can provide. Confused? He can lead you to the right doctors or support groups. Tired? He can give you rest. Barren? He can open your womb. We serve such a wonderful God. I’m so glad He loves me and cares about my hurt.
“For nothing will be impossible with God!”

I love this book and encourage everyone dealing with infertility and infant loss to read this. It has great messages. You will be reading more posts that are from this book in the future! I have a lot to share from this book that has helped me tremendously.
