Weakness

We’ve all heard the verse “the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak”. Well, I knew that verse, and every time I failed spiritually, I said “that’s my problem. my flesh is weak”. Bu I never did anything about my weak flesh. I don’t think I ever really realized how weak I really was in comparison to Christ. The first time i watched Facing the Giants it made me think about my life and what I’m doing here and why I am doing it. It also made me realize just how weak I really am. And that’s the place where I needed to be before Christ could do anything in my life. I got on my knees and gave God everything. He did not let me go until I was nothing. He brought down to the bottom of the bottom and I emptied myself into Him. I felt such peace come over me that I have never felt before in my whole life. Now that I know I am nothing He has space to make me something for Him, which is what I want more than anything else in the whole world. I know the road will not be smooth sailing but God will be with me always. That is the most comforting thing in the world to know that someone so much stronger is in control and will take care of me.

When living life for Jesus Christ becomes to hard a task
When obedience means sacrifice that seems to much to ask
That's when I learn that my own strength isn't really strength at all
And I find rest in humbleness when I surrender all

When failures in my human strength have weakened all my pride
And ruined hopes and fallen dreams have crumbled me inside
It's then by grace I finally see the strength of Jesus Christ
His victory is real in me when weakness fills my life

In my weakness He is strong
In my need He leads me on
When I come to the end of all I am and I place my trust in Him
That's where His strength begins
In my weakness
