strength in weakness

Woke up this morning and realized that I left my bible and journal in the guest room where a guest is sleeping. So, I had to be high tech and read online, and now I am journaling in my blog.

Today, this is what jumped out at me. 2Corinthians 12:9-10

9But 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. ¹⁰That 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.

Can I really "delight" in weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions and difficulties?

Really?

Maybe.

I am completely dependent on the grace of my father in heaven. So, when I am weak, that is when I know how strong HE is!

He tells me that his grace is sufficient for me, and I believe it.

I don't have to be strong, I have to let HIM be strong within me.

So, if I ever appear to be strong or to have power, please know that you are seeing the strength and power of our beautiful God who is pure love. It isn't me.

Thank you Lord for your word.
