Power

A few nights ago I was thinking of a book I read when I was very young but can't remember what it was called. The part I was thinking of was the little quirk between a father and daughter while the daughter was young. They used to have long conversations about super-heroes and what the best super power of all was. The father wanted Strength while the daughter wanted Super Speed. The only thing they both agreed on was that Flight was the best. This became their quirk between the two of them and would refer to it often as the daughter grew up. However, one day when the daughter was a teenager, the father did something that embarrassed her greatly. Trying to fix it up between them, he referred back to the small saying they had... "what power would you like?" Sadly she replied saying
 "Invisibility"

If you could have any power in the world what would you have? Would being able to be invisible be worth it or even being able to fly? Would super speed or strength help you in your day-to-day life in any way? Look what happened to Samson, he had the 'power' of strength but his weakness was found and used. Everyone has a strength or 'power' but it may not be extra-ordinary. It might be something that you're good at. A god-given gift. AND... everyone has a weakness... But we must use these gifts we've been given to the best of our ability and to help others the way Jesus used to. 

Go out into the world and use the super powers God gave you for what is right, even if it is opposite to what everyone is doing or is hard. "What you do for the least of my brothers you do for me" Go fly into the world with super strength and speed without the need for invisiblity
