Weak Is the New StrongSample

After you learn something great or receive an awesome gift, what do you tend to do with it? 

It’s common for us Christ followers to converse about love and self-discipline but how about power? In this journey with Jesus in discovering how your deepest weaknesses are your greatest strengths, God’s power resides in your weaknesses. God’s power in you is a huge part of being a Christ follower. This power of Christ flowing through your weaknesses is a way God displays Himself to the world. Your weaknesses are a resting place for God’s power. The Apostle Paul explains “I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.” (‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭12:9‬ ‭NIV)‬‬ But as in all good things we gain following Jesus, we do not keep the power of Jesus to ourselves. We pass on the power to bless others. Like all humans, my children have weaknesses. As a dad with Cerrbral Palsy in a wheelchair with a speech impediment, I’ve been quite surprise when my son Oliver alludes to me as the strongest man he knows. You should know by now that the only way we are strong is by God’s power in our weaknesses. I’m passing on the power of God to my son. Now, his little sister is seeing him pray, love Jesus, love others and memorize Bible scripture. He is already passing on the power of Jesus through his weakness to someone he knows. 

Who in your life are you going to invest in so they can experience the power of Jesus through their weaknesses?
