My grace is enough; it’s all you need.
My strength comes into its own in your weakness.
Once I heard that…I quit focusing on the handicap and began appreciating the gift. It was a case of Christ’s strength moving in on my weakness.
1 Corinthians 12:9-10 (The Message).
~~~
I choose to thank You for my weaknesses
infirmities
inadequacies
physical, mental, emotional, and relational.
Many times I fall short of what people view as ideal
of what I view as ideal
because
there are times I feel helpless
inferior
insecure.
What a comfort it is to know that You understand
emotions
pain
lack of strength
and allow these in my life
so they may contribute to Your
high purpose for me.
Many times these handicaps
and weaknesses
cut through my pride
and cause me to walk more humbly with You.
It is then that Your power
and promises
give me more grace
and bless and strengthen me.
Thank You that inadequacies prod me to trust You
the all-sufficient God
who is always
enough.
