A reminder for
today
And he said unto me, My
grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most
gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of
Christ may rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in
reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake:
for when I am weak, then am I strong. (2
Corinthians 12:9-10)
My weakness is my irritation and my anger at the moment. The
whole situation with my kids now in two houses plus my ex wife that is to
selfish to realise what she did all fills up one huge cauldron of anger and
irritation that can drive me crazy. It is as if I just can’t move forward and,
in my weakness, I am so irritated at the whole thing. It is hard, and I can tell
you in all honesty it is not easy for me to not have my kids around all the
time. This is probably the hardest part of it all and the part that is killing me.
So, why did I choose these verses today? At the moment I feel
weak almost all the time and when I read that God’s grace is enough, I am
humbled again. His strength is made perfect in my weakness. He is all I need
and all I will ever need. He will take my weakness and turn it into strength and
He will take that which hurts so much at the moment and turn it into victory
for His glory.
The enemy thinks he won, but unfortunately when I am weak I am
strong and I must change my mind so that I will find pleasure in my infirmities,
my persecutions and my distresses because when I rise out of this God will get
all the glory and everyone will know that He is God and God over my life.
Therefore, what remains for me to do? I will continue to battle
on my knees and pray from my kids and my ex and all the people in my life
including all of you that have become my friends on my blog. I will not let my
pain become my measure of my worth, but I will let my victory over my pain become
the purpose of my life. In my victories I will show my God and I will show His
love and all that will see will realise that He is the only God.
There are still much to do, and the fight is far from over. We
must stay the course and keep our focus on the prize at the end of this race. It
is not about us nor is about this life, it is all about God and all for Him. I can
only ask that He will turn my situation around and let my kids be with me. I can
only ask that He will continue to bless me and continue to strengthen me and prepare
me for what awaits me, because I know great things are still to come.
Have an awesome day dear friend of Jesus.
Cheers
