Hi, and welcome to the Five Word Prayers Daily, a five-day-a-week daily devotional where we share the word, prayers, in our heart.

I'm Lisa Whittle, and I welcome you to just five minutes with me, which I trust and pray will be five minutes well spent.

Hey, happy Hump Day. I hope it's a good week for you. So God has a lot of things, right?

So many things and so many reasons we love and adore him. And one reason I love

Jesus so much is because he's not like me. I don't know about you, but I am so grateful

Jesus is not impatient like me, fearful like me, inconsistent like me, and something we actually

talked about on Monday that we are, I want to praise God today for being its opposite. I'll tell you more about

that in just a few. So you'll remember on Monday's show, we talked about the benefits of boundaries

for both the boundary setter and the boundary receiver. And the boundary setters need for

boundaries all has to do with our capacity,

right? We wear human flesh, and while our heart has room for everyone without exclusivity,

we weren't made to have physical capacity to have and help everyone who comes along in our life.

I don't know why God made us to have limits, but he did. I suspect it might be because he

wanted us to have need of him, and man, how much do we? And often, many, many times a day,

I'm reminded of my limits and my capacity. I often wish it weren't so, which I think speaks to that

human desire to be able to do things ourselves. Our flesh dies so hard,

doesn't it? But God, on the other hand, is limitless. He has no boundary. Before the world began,

there was God. Before anything that was made was made, there was God. God has never not existed,

nor will he never not exist. He is infinite,

which are finite brains can't even comprehend. I know. I've tried to think about infinity,

and it's just too much of a brain explosion, so I can't even think about it, literally. But God

himself is not only limitless, but his capacity for us, every human, is also limitless.
