2 Corinthians 12:8-10 (New International Version)
8Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me. 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.
I’m on this new thing now. I have spent the past 2 ½ years harboring or should I say meditating on my failures, fears, difficulties and so forth, sharing my hardships with no one. Burdened by my religious oppressions. I see now that this was a pride issue and has made my ‘be-Christ-like’ journey much harder than it had to be. When I heard these verses yesterday (The Bible Experience DVD’s), it was like I heard it for the first time; must be that Matthew 13:22 thing!!
So, for you women I consider prayer warriors (even though I probably never mentioned it to you) expect to get a few more emails from me. For when I am weak, then I am strong!
Walking in His mercy and Living in His grace,
Kisha
