Made Weak To Be Strong

Published by at 8:00 am under 2 Corinthians,What On Earth Am I Here For?

My grace is sufficient for you, my power is made perfect in weakness.

2 Corinthians 12:9

In weakness, I’m made strong by God. That is so mind boggling!  How can it be? This world always puts up the strong, the beautiful, the powerful.  Yet, God only wants to use the weak.  Why?

Simply because He wants me to lean on Him. He wants me to depend on Him. I need to have a humble heart. I need to have a compassionate heart. When I’m strong and powerful, I become prideful.  I wouldn’t need anyone else. I may even feel like God! There is only one God – and I’m not it.

I’m weak, and He is strong. I’m weak and useable. This is the essence of servanthood. This is what God wants me to be – and He’ll bless me abundantly because of it!
