2 Corinthians 12:9-10 "But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong."
Each time I feel so weak and frustrated over something,
that feeling would really sink deep into me...
like massively digging a hole.
Like a dagger,
...piercing thru my heart..
.. and then it just freezes me.
Leaving me a feeling of remorse, shame and unworthiness.
Exposing my weaknesses would mean laying down my cards.
My imperfections.
I have a lot of weaknesses in me. If I focus on them detail by detail,
one by one...maybe it would take a lifetime. Definitely it would.
The world and other preachers would tell you to look at them so bad
that you'd puke. You don't even want to look at yourself in the mirror
anymore. Because by then , you'd get sick of "you"
and then would just decide to take on that mask and eventually stay away from God.
Good thing Jesus doesn't think that way.
Jesus doesn't want us to look wrongly in our imperfections and weaknesses.
Instead, He wants us to have a revelation in it. And get smart.
I consider my frustrations as one of my weaknesses.
Each time that happens I could just look onto Jesus and say to Him,
"where would I be without you, Jesus? You are my strength.
Thank you for coming for me. "
In this crazy, mad, fallen world, you don't need a hero. You only need Jesus!!

We're lucky aren't we, you and me. We have Jesus to depend on for everything. Dinx, Jesus didn't come down to save a perfect world, the perfect person, but He came because of the sinners, the imperfect world, the imperfect person.
ReplyDeleteWe're all like the rough diamond, to be able to shine brilliantly someday in the future, we need to get chiseled and cut (facets) and finally to be polished before we are classify as a diamond. So every cut, every chisel is only going to be good for us. We are going to SHINE someday when we stand before Him. Brilliantly! Isn't that just magnificent, to be able to stand with Him in His kingdom.
Stay strong child,
