Embracing Weakness

Do you ever find yourself suddenly aware of your own glaring weaknesses? Aware that, if left up to your own good works, you wouldn’t stand a chance of attaining salvation? We should find great comfort in the fact that we are nothing without salvation in Christ Jesus.

Thankfully God made a way for us to be united with Him, despite impatience, selfishness, anger, and pride. God deeply cares for us and patiently sustains us with steady, faithful, and adoring love. Amazingly His love even goes beyond this to embrace and transform our weakness when we yield it to Him. Weakness isn’t something to be feared or hidden; weakness submitted to God allows the power of Christ to work in and through us. When we know our weakness, we are more aware of our need for His strength. When we put ourselves in a position of humility and ask Him to be strong where we are weak, He is delighted to help.

How can you submit your weakness to God so that, through Him, you can be strong?
