Can isn't the question
The leper told Jesus, "If thou wilt, thou canst make me whole." The leper knew "this man CAN make me whole," the part he wasn't sure of was "WILL He?" Jesus answered, "I will; be thou clean." The real key to faith is not whether or not we believe God is able, but believing he WILL do it to us, for us and through us. It is easy to believe He WILL do it for others, but we think we aren't worthy that He should do it for us. Without faith it is impossible to please God, for he that cometh to God must first believe that he is and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. Draw nigh unto me, promises the Lord, and I will draw nigh unto you. Our faith must be built on our own experiences with God and not merely on mental or emotional acknowledgement of the experiences of others. God gives us faith and calls us to walk beyond our doubts. We know that He can do all things, and we know He does things for others; our walk of faith begins when we believe He WILL for us. Our limitations do not matter, in fact God's callings and promptings are never about readiness they are about willingness. God knows you CAN do all things through Christ who strengthens you, the question He asks is "WILL YOU?"
