History has demonstrated that the most notable winners usually encountered heartbreaking obstacles before they triumphed. They won because they refused to become discouraged by their defeats. – B. C. Forbes

But Jesus looked at them and said to them, “With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.” (Matt. 19:26)

How do you react when you see people develop their ability to do what seems impossible?

Yesterday as I was sorting emails in the Inbox of MS Outlook, I came across Jack Stagman’s email that he forwarded to his entire YTB (Your Travel Business) email list in response to Dr. Jerry’s Graham’s devotional titled “More Overcomers.” Here is what Jack said:

“I read this story and watched a  moving youtube video and I thought about how easily we sometimes give up when adversity strikes. This couple in the video against all odds persevered, did not give up and came out champions. Will you become a YTB (Your Travel Business) champion during 2008 or will you quickly give up when challenges are at your doorstep. You may consider signing up for this daily email.”

I then watched the YouTube video and it really inspired me. It reminded me of the greatness within each of us that will manifest when we pursue our God-given passions doing what He created us to do.
