How many of you have spent your life avoiding weakness?
Father's process of growth in our lives will involve weakness. Isn't it interesting that God uses words like rejoice, delight, and joy when we are faced with trials or hardships?
Rom 5:3-5 we rejoice in our sufferings...
James 1:2-4 consider it pure joy whenever you face trials...
2 Cor 12:10 I delight in weakness, in difficulties, in persecutions...
Don't run from hardships. Faith is proven in them. Hope is proven in them. Love is proven in them. His grace is proven in them.
2 Cor 12:9 Each time he said, “My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness.”
Let God perfect His strength in your weakness. His power works best in your weakness. Find joy! Find Delight! You are powerful because of the one who lives within you.
