"I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." Philippians 4:13
The Flash can move with phenomenal speed. The Hulk has incredible strength. And Wonder Woman---she's an athlete and a warrior, with healing powers, psychic abilities, and cool tools, such as bracelets that deflect bullets. It's no wonder that kids want to imitate these superheroes.
Sometimes we forget that as Christians, we have "super powers," too. We have the power of the Holy Spirit at work in us, helping us to do everything that God has called us to do. We may not be able to scale tall buildings, but we can be patient in traffic, loving to those who are offensive, faithful to keep our promises, even when we don't feel like it. We can be strong to say No to temptation and courageous to face any situation that comes our way. I like to remind the children (but it's a good reminder for us adults, too) that when we exhibit the fruit of the Spirit, we're using our super power. "
