Limitations

Lately I have been thinking about how important limitations are in life. I know this sounds negative, but it is not meant to be. By staying within our limitations, we will find we get more accomplished than by pushing the boundaries and getting less done.
This is especially true for epileptics and people afflicted with debilitating illnesses or challenges. We know that for epileptics, there are certain things that will trigger a seizure. Excessive heat or extreme temperature, fatigue, problems with medications are some examples. Other triggers may be more unique to individuals, but those need to be identified and life adjusted accordingly. No doubt this causes frustration, but just as finding the right combination is the key to opening a lock, so is finding the right combination of activities the key to living a successful life. So, it leaves us with the task of finding ways around things in order to bring peace within ourselves. Even the Lord Jesus lived and worked within limitations. He, being very God and very man, took on the form of human flesh and suffered thirst, hunger, felt tired, and suffered more stress in the three years He was on earth than any of us could begin to endure in our whole lifetime. His death on the cross paid the penalty and defied the power of sin for all who believe. Soon, and we believe His coming is eminent, He will deliver all those who believe from the presence of sin as well. Think today about your relationship to Jesus Christ. Today, let Him cleanse you and make you His child.
As just a closing thought: Let limitations be a gateway to freedom, not a wall of contention.
