I’m tired. I’m overwhelmed. My body hurts. I just need rest.
Problems have been presenting themselves to me daily. School keeps getting unmercifully more difficult. I’m at the end of my rope. I’m in a low place. The thing is that’s exactly where God wants me. In times like these, He wants me to depend on Him to deliver me from hardships. It doesn’t matter how large the tribulation I’m going through is. It only matters that I realize God is bigger. He’s going to utilize my weakness in order to show His strength through me.
“He said to me, ‘My grace is enough; it's all you need. My strength comes into its own in your weakness.’ Once I heard that, I was glad to let it happen. I quit focusing on the handicap and began appreciating the gift. It was a case of Christ's strength moving in on my weakness. Now I take limitations in stride, and with good cheer, these limitations that cut me down to size—abuse, accidents, opposition, difficulties. I just let Christ take over! And so the weaker I get, the stronger I become.” – 2 Corinthians 12:9-10
I’m tired. I’m overwhelmed. My body hurts. I just need rest…
These weaknesses become my strengths when I let Him take over.
Now I realize that.
