When you fix your eyes on Jesus, the impossible is within your reach.
Hi, I’m Joni Eareckson Tada. My friend Todd has cerebral palsy. He doesn’t use a wheelchair, but is able to walk, albeit with a stiff gait. But even with that limitation, Todd was a member of the high school track team! Impossible, you say? Well look, this young guy with CP may run a little awkwardly, but he is FAST! And now? Todd is a student at Azusa Pacific University and plans to become a physical therapist. He’s setting his goals with Hebrews 12 in mind. He is “[running] with perseverance the race marked out for [him], fixing [his] eyes on Jesus.” Friend, maybe you have goals in life, but you’re concerned about your limitations – things you can’t do, rather than can do – and you wonder if you’ll ever reach your dreams. Well, let Todd be an example; fix your eyes on Jesus. Because when you make him your focus, the impossible is within your reach.
